Just once I don't want to have to save myself!

Even now Hattori was unsure what to make of Winterfell. It was far too easy to write them off as cowards, hesitant and capricious, unwilling to do whatever needed to be done. But Hattori had seen much of the world, enough to know that things were rarely as simple as they first appeared. One thing Hattori knew for certain; this Winterfell was not the same as the one that had earned Venom's ire long ago. It was simply rotting away in the seclusion north, unknown and irrelevant, with even the biting cold not being enough to ward off its decay. It was a fate more humiliating than defeat, like a disease of the mind, he almost felt pity for them. Almost.

Perhaps the Shogun would return after some time, to see if their scents had grown fainter still.

Making his way back south, Hattori skirted around the Fireside territory and wondered when they would return their treatment in kind. He briefly recalled a saying in the common tongue, something about taking an eye for an eye, and dwelled on it for a moment. As callous as it may sound, Hattori was content in making the world blind, stabbing back to prove a point and make it known that Ashen was a force to be reckoned with.

Sticking close to the mountain side, Hattori padded along in silence, only to pause when movement caught his eye. Lingering outside some sort of opening in the mountain, a caribou watched him with wide eyes and perked ears. It did not seem to fear him and if anything it seemed more than casually interested in his presence, no doubt used to the company of wolves if the scents that clung to its form were anything to go by. So it was someone's companion then? It felt like a safe assumption.

He turned a little, offering the creature more than just a side glance as he faced it proper.

"What?" He asked, no charm and all monotone.
