As they moved along, their sides pressing so close nothing could come between them, Hattori realised just how long it had been since they'd been together like this. There was always much to be done and Hattori had never been the sort to enjoy sitting still, but slower moments like this with his wife were enjoyable. Something he could indulge in without feeling as though time was slipping through his grasp, like he ought to be doing more. It could be said he should have taken the incentive and stepped aside with Venom sooner, it was obvious she needed this, but he supposed that there was no time like the present. The flutter of her heartbeat was soft and calm, perfectly at ease, and yet Hattori found himself glancing over their surroundings once more and testing the air just in case. Nothing but the salty brine of the sea met his nose, overwhelming but familiar in a homey sort of way. As though he'd always belonged by the ocean.

"Venom," he began, rarely breaking the silence as his tail flicked forward to gently pat her haunch. "I- you know I am not good at such things, but you understand me. You know how I feel, always. " His words were not as direct as he would have liked, but the intent and meaning was there. "And I have been thinking. I did not want you or the children to take my name because of my Father, for the longest time I felt as though his name should die with me. But now... "

Just being alone with her in a place like this helped the thoughts come through a little easier, as though she provided him with clarity and a sense of ease. This was a safe place, the matters of family and the Empire so far away on that distance shore. Barely visible even when Hattori squinted.

"I am unsure. How do you feel about it?"
