just your local friendly neighbor

Weaving his way through the maze, Hattori had just about finished his patrol till a familiar scent wafted to his nose. Audra. What was she doing here? He knew well enough that she'd settled in the Hallows and it was not too much of a stretch for her to travel from there to here, but how did she know? After all it  wasn't as though the Kaicho had advertised the clan's whereabouts, or even diplomatically reached out just yet, if he ever would. Intent on finding out, Hattori shouldered his way through the thinner trees, young shoots and stalks that hadn't grown strong and thick just yet and made his way to the clan's threshold.

Audra was just about standing on no man's land, a curious gleam in her eyes as though she'd contemplated stepping over. Even if only for a second or two.  He didn't think she would but he found it prudent to intercept her all the same, even if only to figure out what she wanted. Why she was here.

"Audra." He greeted, close to as friendly as he could manage.
