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

Hattori listened, silent and intent, as he took in the details. Things were starting to make a little more sense, he knew wolves still dwelled within the borders and that they'd most likely heard his call, but if what the woman said was true then their inaction spoke volumes. Captives made poor warriors, even with all the talent and training in the world it would still never be enough if their heart was not in it. In part, it was why Hattori believed slaves and the like were a waste of resources, he was not so desperate for manpower that he would force people to bend to his will. The thought left a displeasing taste in his mouth, like he'd taken a bite out of rotting meat.

As she continued even more questions sprung to mind. Why had the pack simply allowed him to take over without much of a fuss? And why was she the only one who had the nerve to stand up to him? He supposed it didn't matter to him, if the wolves of Winterfell -or whatever it was called now- wished to bury their hands in the snow then so be it. Hattori was many things but he was no saviour, he would not swoop in and fix a mess they refused to deal with themselves.

He eyed her leg as she raised it, though he would not say as much he noted her ingenuity, her attempt at taking the incentive even if it meant getting wounded in the process. Some risks were worth taking.

"It happens that I am returning south after conducting a raid on your former home. No one heeded our call so we pillaged the lands," as was the victors right. He paused for a moment in thought. "If the pack is as inefficient as you say, I would not be surprised if they starved this coming winter."
