Saving the damsel in distress

Kotori was a polite listener, remaining silent and his attention fully focused on her words.  She hadn’t complained about pain, even when her words were finished she seemed to be more interested in her quest to find Hanzo than resting her injuries.  She was earning Kotori’s respect for more than just lineage or beauty.  

“I met him only once.  He was once a member of the Ashen pack and he was giving a speech before a tournament between my father’s pack and their own.” The colorful horned wolf certainly stood out in appearance and Kotori recalled his proud appearance.  Still, he must have been a fool for leaving Ashen.  

“I believe he’s in Auster, across the Bifrost.” Kotori remained silent for a few seconds as if considering a matter before adding, “You’re injured and alone.  Princess Ochitsuki,” Kotori offered her a respectful bow but, his own eye was sure not to move from her even as his head dipped, “You are welcome to spend a few days on my pack's land.  It will give your wound time to heal and make for a safer and faster trip when you do leave.”
