And I said hey, what's going on

Hattori didn’t waste time dropping the bomb on her that made her physically sit down, her brows rising in disbelief. She’d known he’d been affected quite harshly by the events of the past several months and it had killed her that she hadn’t been able to do anything to help despite her best efforts. She wanted to argue against him and tell him that he’d made so many valuable changes in Ashen, that he was heard, but Hattori was stubborn and righteous and he had seemed to already have made his bed.

Her silver gaze followed the wiggle of his foot and she balked, blanching as she saw he was missing a toe. She held herself back from throwing herself forward and fretting, a small noise of displeasure leaving her mouth. He let her know that she wasn’t required to follow him and, for a moment, she was quiet. ”You know that I have only ever wanted your happiness, and if this will help you achieve that I will support you,” she began, ”but we are a family of our word. I promised Sirius that I would help his daughter for the season and I will honor that. I also…need some time to think,”. As much as she hated to show hesitance, it was a lot to take in at that moment.
