The Shogun blinked slowly. He understood where she was coming from, her feelings echoed his own, with shadowed by insecurities. She had nothing to fear, not from Toxicity or her Fallen God, if this was the path she wished to take then Hattori would give his blessing. He could not say for certain how Venom would feel about this, but he knew more than anything else she loved her children, that she would do anything to ensure their happiness and health.
"It is okay, yes." He put it plainly, leaving no room for concerns to squirm through the cracks.
But again it always came back to Toxicity, how her faith seemed to smother everything around her, clouding her judgement as she saw all through a biased lens. Perhaps the issue laid with the fact his culture was far too different from hers, that they did not and would never be able to meld together. All of his children favoured stories of his homeland, respected and cherished the old ways of Nippon, leaving very little room for Klein and Abraxas influences to take hold. He saw this as a good thing, but he doubted the Omikuji would say the same. He exhaled slowly, close to a sigh but not quite. Ashen had changed and would continue to shift and reshape itself as the years passed on by. Change was a part of life, inevitable, manageable as long as you didn't fight against the current. But with Toxicitiy...Well, Hattori had a feeling this was no doubt a hill she would want to die on.
