Hattori was not a doting father who trailed after his children, intent on smothering them with his love. For the most part he trusted them enough to leave them to their own devices and it was a good thing too as even with Venom back on the throne there was still much for him to do. Some days it felt like too much. He had only just finished yet another patrol, his paws stinging from the icy bite of sea water but he paid little heed as he made his way back up the beach. For the most part the children were expected to remain closer to the mainland, frequent the tight cluster of islands but Hattori knew for a fact that Kuroki wandered off whenever he was able. The same could not be said for his youngest daughter, Kiyohime. In hindsight he felt as though her name was perhaps a little too fanciful but even with her lack of airs and grace she carried it well, she would grow into it in time.
Wrapped in a swarth of furs she lingered outside the palace, as though figuring out where she wanted to go before she turned on her heel and made a quick dash for the land bridge that connected to Nephilim Island. He followed in her tracks, her tiny paws a mere shadow of his own, as one step of his matched about five of hers. She was so tiny when looking at her parents she really had no reason to be, whether she would grow out of this was yet to be seen.
"Kiyohime." He rumbled in greeting, a few paces behind her.
