don't let your parents turn into pigs

His gaze follows her as she looks toward the north. Did she mean the Hallows or further north? Boreas somewhere? He wouldn't be surprised. He and his own brother had traveled together to their father's lands of Heidinn and even farther north to Armada. Yet, she was alone and going alone that far as a female was rather terrifying. There were treacherous creatures out there that indeed could not be trusted.

As he mulls over these considerations, he nods to her words. Yes, he did understand the want to travel without supervision. Having an adult tag along was a rather cramp in one's style, but Akito had been given a long leash from the start. Trust was to be built and he knew his companions would be on the lookout if he ever needed help.

Akito does raise a brow at her question. Content to allow her to lead the conversation, his own gaze turns southeast. He contemplates once more if he should be divulging where he lives. Hattori had warned him not to ever reveal too much, but with how far they had expanded, their presence surely was known. And he had been to the Hallows before so it wasn't like Hattori and Artorias didn't know each other.

"South of here in the bamboo if you ever make it that far," he answers finally after a few seconds as he looks back at the girl. "Do you live in the Hallows? I have been once before to meet a Vendrick," Akito gives her some more information as he knows it would probably be rude to actually allow her to do all of the speaking. Plus, maybe she knew Vendrick or the Hallows.
