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

Hattori had not expected her to ask for help. It did not seem to be in her nature to rely on others, but the weight of her words did not slip by unnoticed. Though he had very little to gain from helping her out he did not make a move to immediately swat aside her request. Selfless was not a word to describe the Shogun, but he took very little pleasure in seeing others suffer, there was no need for her to return to the pack that had held her captive. Even objectively speaking he knew it would be a waste and the less competent manpower Winterfell had, the better.

He was silent in consideration, his pale brows furrowed just so as he cast his gaze to the dark depths behind her. Ultimately, this was not his choice to make. His word carried great weight within Ashen and its Empire, but despite what some might think Hattori was well aware of his place and worth. Bringing her into Ashen's fold was a liability Hattori did not want to risk, but even then he saw no reason to leave her here to rot.

"Lean against your caribou and follow me." Hattori told her, his mind made up. "You may rest outside of Ashen's borders till you are well, I will have a medic tend to you in the meanwhile." The borders were patrolled enough that even the surrounding areas beyond their land were safe enough. Very little escaped the Shogun's notice. On technicality alone he could not make her an Ashen wolf, but that bothered him little. If she wanted her freedom she would have to earn it when able, it was not something Hattori would provide."Once you are well you should consider what you wish to do."

The choice was entirely hers, Hattori would not sway or judge her preference.
