Hattori did not deny her. He was not overly affectionate, not even with his wife, nor would he ever be but he saw no reason to push her away. He knew that children had trouble understanding the ways of the world, to punish her for something she couldn't yet help would be cruel. His means of parenting were firm, there was no denying that, but the Shogun never went out of his way to be callous or to strike out for no good reason. The Shogun was a lot of things but he made a point not to follow in his father's footsteps, anything but that.

He dipped his chin down a little, offering a grumble in the back of his throat. Hattori cared for all of his children in his own wordless way, it was the best he could do. The softest he could be.

Her question brought reason to pause, his expression shifting just so as his brows furrowed a trace. He blinked slowly, as though it was something he had to think about as he considered her words. To offer a snap response of reassurance was not in his nature, he would not lie to her. The wind rustled the canopy of the jungle, it's oily leaves not faring well in this harsh weather. He was frankly surprised the trees hadn't all died, that despite the struggle they still stood tall, unyielding just as Hattori did.

"I don't know." He admitted. "But know this, you are my blood. There is nothing I would not do for you, if you needed it. Sometimes you may not like it, but I act with your interests at heart. Always."
