What... still here?

Hanako appreciated the little joke, it did well to break the mounting tension that had settled in the air. She knew that she was able to get away with a lot others simply could not, but in a situation like this even she was talking a tightrope. If Azure was to be believed he'd talked his father into helping preserve her reputation, but what if that wasn't enough? Though Sirius was being gentle enough in his approach, most likely having correctly assumed scaring her into submission wasn't the best way to go about this, she knew this wasn't as laid back of a conversation that it appeared to be on the surface.

Sure enough he pressed on, pointing out she'd risen high in the ranks with very little time and effort, that he wouldn't keep her on such a long leash from here on out. Sparrow offered her luxuries and comforts with little effort in return and Sirius sought to drag her in the opposite direction, it was reasonable and probably the best thing for her but... Hanako was selfish at heart. She wanted things without having to truly work, earning her rank last time had been more effort than she'd usually put in, so the thought of doing even more did not sit well with her. From the start she'd known this was not a pack where she'd be pampered but she'd still gotten carried anyway nonetheless.

"I thought you'd hate me too." She finally said after a long and lingering silence. "Azure says he doesn't but he's so- temperamental."
