Hattori nodded in approval. It was an easy question but he enjoyed her enthusiasm all the same, not many wolves seemed to take pleasure in his company but he appreciated his children's candour, he supposed. He'd been happier when he was her age too, his eyes shone bright and he'd walked with a bounce in his step. Hattori wanted to protect her from the hardships he'd faced and yet he did not wish to coddle her either, it was a fine line to walk and he wasn't sure what technique would work best just yet. If ever. He exhaled sharply as he continued on, grappling with the issues of fatherhood like any man would.
He led on, till the lapping waves reached his toes. He did not like the idea of the children venturing into the water but he was here and thus she would be safe, it was a certainty in his eyes. An absolute.
"Be careful there is a slope here. If you need help tell me. "
He stepped out into the water till it reached about his chest, his paws still firmly on the sand. Now seemed a good enough time for her to learn how to paddle, just in case.
