i've got a lovely bunch of coconuts

Coming from Tojo-Kai, Akito is not well adjusted to the chipper and exuberant behavior of Maki. Her delightful tippy tappy of her paws is meet with stoic gaze and a minuscule raise of the brow. He wasn’t quite sure what to make of the emotions that swirled inside of him as she explained that she was getting out into the world and meeting other wolves.

“Stories?” Akito questions, focusing on that instead. Prodding in only a way that Akito could.

When she explains that her family used to live here and her grandmother was an Empress, Akito nods. He had been given a history lesson or two from Hattori so the empire was not unknown to him. He does regard her in a slightly confused and awkward way. Was she truly expecting him to bow or was she joking? Her expression was a bit jumbled, he was never good at reading others.

“Hattori adopted me recently. Does that make me a prince?” He questions, the best sort of cheeky jab he could present to her. Of course, he didn’t know if Maki knew who was Hattori was or how he related to the Ashen Empire.
