fate has a will of its own

Hattori was silent in his consideration. Ashen was recruiting and though they'd just met, Hattori sensed a budding promise within the loner, as though he was willing to put all the time and effort in to prove his worth. Talk was cheap, but actions were not. And those in Ashen had plenty to prove, with even more to strive for.

"Haru? Are you from Nippon?" After all, his name meant spring in Hattori's native tongue. It felt safe to assume as much. Though he would not protest to having more wolves who spoke Japanese in his pack it was not enough to earn him entry, or rather a role worth speaking of. "I am Hattori, Shogun of Ashen. I accept your request, on one condition. You are to be made a peasant, an entry rank for those who join. If you are as talented of a hunter as you claim then make the best of our shores and catch some fish then bring them to me."


OOC: thought it could be fun for Haru to do the hunting seasonal and earn a better rank!
