If Venom wished revenge on Fireside Hattori would see it done. His own thoughts and feelings on the matter were irrelevant, their contract was still firmly in place and thus it was still his duty to serve. But it seemed as though Venom didn't want that, at least not for now. He dipped his head, letting the matter go as she did, knowing full well that her line of thought was correct. If they retaliated in blind vengeance the outcome would likely be poor at best. But Hattori had no doubt that there would come a time when they would remind Fireside of their place and make them feel alone in this cold and unforgiving world. And speaking of cold, she was right in that they had already set their sights on Winterfell. What was that saying he'd once heard in the common tongue? Revenge was best served late? Maybe.
"Yes. I understand."
Venom herself had done well in the raid, having brought her first opponent to her knees swiftly and with grace befitting of her station. But her second fight hadn't carried quite the same air. It was as though they knew one another and were treating the event as though it was a dance and not a dominance match. It had struck the Shogun as very odd at the time but he'd been too busy to linger on the matter for long, but now that she was sitting before him and open to conversation he couldn't help but wonder.
"That man you fought in the raid. Who was he?" He asked, sounding not quite as aloof as he perhaps should.
