Genji Raijin. Really? All energy sapped from Hattori's body as he resisted the urge to slump his shoulders. Looking between the siblings he didn't see too much of a resemblance but...he shouldn't have been surprised really, by now he no doubt had sprinkled bastards halfway across the world. But to meet them like this had taken Hattori by surprise, like someone stealing a kill only to chew it up and spit it back at him. And then the taller of the siblings doubled down, mentioning a name that brought Hattori's ears to flick back against his skull. Takeshi. So he had children too?

Unsure of where to start, Hattori lingered in silence for a moment longer, simply listening to the whispering of the waves as though they held all the answers. They did not. Whether he liked it or not, these boys were a part of his family. Perhaps not directly connected to his familial branch, but blood all the same. And if there was one thing Hattori had decided not too long ago, it was that koi-wolves ought to stick together, to cling onto their way of life.

"Genji Raijin is my cousin." He told them, finally turning to face the pair once more. Whatever mixed feelings they had about Raijin could be sorted out later, between themselves, it was not really a topic Hattori wanted to delve into himself. But there was something he felt as though he deserved to know. "I am Hattori Hanzo. Why do you wish to speak to him?"
