thunder gods returning

Víðarr's offer was a strong one, clearly not a half measure meant to placate the Kaicho as they both knew such a lacklustre effort would not have worked. Víðarr was effectively putting his own blood on the line, offering the most valuable asset a wolf like him had, his legacy. Hattori made a deep noise in the base of his throat, a sound of acknowledgement, that he truly knew what this meant. As of right now Hattori did not have any suitable sons or heirs in mind, for as harsh as it sounded he had in essence written off Kuroki and Takashi. Kuroki was...himself and Takashi did not seem to have what it took to lead, kept to himself too much and simply did not have the drive for it. And even if he asked that of his sons, he did not think they would be interested. He was many things-including disappointed in how they had turned out- but he would not force them into this. It went against his own and their interests.

It did bring up a point though, as things stood Tojo was unstable and uncertain in this regard. Should he fall for any reason, who would take his place? Certainly not his cousin, though perhaps one of his sons would be capable of it one day as he was too young as of now. Hattori knew this was something he had to consider, more seriously at least than he had done before.

"I accept the offer." Though there would be logistics to explore and have set in stone. Does Tenshi know?"
