Hanako spoke and he could hear the humor in her words. A low chuckle rumbled from Chimera and he flashed a little grin. "I do indeed," he agreed. "My queens are precious to me." He saw nothing wrong with living a polyamorous life and he didn't care if others saw an issue with it. The life that he lived worked well for him and it worked well for his women and his children.

Chi could see the gears turning in Hana's mind and she spoke of others having said bad things about her. Again, the man chuckled. "Can you blame them?" One brow lifted and his head gave a little tilt. "You haven't always been the easiest to get along with."

The black and white behemoth gave a languid stretch, claws digging into the earth between them before his muscles eased once more. "If you don't like the way that things are, you're the only one that can change them." Was he hinting that maybe she could become someone that was easier to get along with? Maybe. Really though, Hanako's future was up to her. If she wanted to work towards it, she could have whatever she wanted.

"So what does the future hold for Hanako?" Again his head tilted. "What do you want in life? What's important to you?" He was hoping that she wouldn't bullshit him.
