peace offering

Hanako turned a little, making a point of standing downwind from the fish. She could tell he didn't entirely believe her, no doubt checking for lies and manipulations around every corner, but it wasn't as if she could really help it. No matter what she said or did there would always be a lingering sense of doubt within him, if she even tried to give him what he wanted he'd just slap it away and assume the worst of her. She was damned if she did and damned if she didn't. How were they supposed to move forward if he was just going to hold her back at arms length? That future he spoke of with her by his side seemed a faint, distant thing, like she wasn't even speaking to the same wolf from yesterday. But she knew how quickly that could change, nothing was ever safe or certain with Azure.

She glanced over her shoulder when Azure spoke of her Keepers, her ears wilting a little as she thought of the suffering Zee must have endured. Was that something time could mend? Hanako had never been close with her but the few times they had spoken the Queen had offered her nothing but kindness and reassuring words when the young koi had needed them. Her advice hadn't really helped Hanako out in the long term, she was still having boy trouble to this very day but it was the thought that counted.

"I don't know, they were only ever kind to me." And offered more freedoms than Azure was willing to give her now. "I never saw that side of them."

And she hoped she would not, she didn't need Azure to dangle yet another threat overhead. Did he not want her to sleep at night? She would have shot him a look if she thought it would have done any good
