tell me what its like

Hattori was nothing like Plague, he did not open up like this to her. He bottled his emotions and busied himself to ignore emotions. Those qualities suited the Empress just fine, they worked well together and under their care the Empire was flourishing. Venom, despite her best efforts, was her mother’s daughter. She needed to be loved and appreciated but admitting that fact was something she avoided at all costs. It was silently eating a hole in her, but that didn’t mean she was ready or willing to admit more than she said.

Plague was incredibly perceptive, he spoke about keeping the pups occupied, assuring her that Ashen would not fall while they took some time to themselves. More than that, he echoed her words back to him. If she wasn’t happy, if there was more than what she said, he would help her find happiness in any way he could. Venom grinned slightly, she didn’t know what the answer might be here, but she felt secure knowing Plague would be there no matter what. He always had been and she knew he always would.

Venom took his paw as he encouraged her with a soft smile and his words. He went on, telling her how much he admired her and reminding her what she deserved. ”I am happy, but its hard not to be jealous when my brother is half of a perfect relationship.” She chuckled, changing the subject as she booped him on the nose. There was a seed of doubt planted about her relationship, but it was unfair to Hattori, who’s devotion to the Empire was so intense his Empress was forgotten.
