Standing there, Hattori dipped down a little to allow Venom to hold onto him. He breathed deep as the warmth of her form leached into his, as though they had never been apart to begin with. He felt a brief flicker of guilt to know he had caused her distress, but knew he couldn't hold onto it. The past had already moved on, no matter how he felt about it would change nothing. From here on out they would set their gazes forward, to the future and whatever laid in wait for them. Good or bad.

There was much for them to discuss, to say and do, but he needed to be certain of this before they could move on. "The children?" Though he supposed they were hardly that any more. Yearlings in their very own right.
