Plague nodded in agreement when Hattori mentioned that it was something to discuss with Venom. He liked the plans they discussed and clearly gave his approval of them, but he would forever differ to his sister's views and decisions. She was the Empress but even more than that she had proven time and time again why she deserved her loyalty and had returned it to him ten fold so whatever she wished to do he would follow. He lifted a curious brow as Hattori moved on to his disapproval of the Klein family and how it had simply moved with Recluse. He hummed softly, taking the last sip of his matcha to finish up the cup and nudging it back toward Hattori as he considered the statement and the question that was posed to him.
"If I'm being honest, I don't know much about the Klein half of my lineage," he admitted after a moment. "I was never terribly close with either of my parents before my father passed and my mother moved away and the only reason I know much of the Abraxas ways was because it was preached to us from a young age... That being said, I've learned a name and blood relation does not always make a family and not all family members are created equal. There are a good number of wolves these days that even though we are family by definition I would not go out of my way for them or fight for them the way I would Venom or your children." He gave a small shrug and added, "Do I think they're worth salvaging? I'm not sure. I don't know enough of them to say one way or another. But the very fact that I don't know them well enough to say probably speaks volumes."
He shifted to rise to his feet, his thoughts lingering on the many, many scattered pieces of Abraxas and Klein wolves that were more places than he probably realized and more than he would probably ever know. At one time he would have thought that blood relation was all he needed to be dedicated to someone, but he had seen too many wolves show their true colors now to do that and he was far more selective with who he offered his loyalty to. He gave Hattori a small smile and dipped his head, saying, "I should be going. Thank you for the matcha, I appreciate you teaching me how to make it."
