A reunion?

Seiko didn't have the easiest time relating to their siblings; not unless they were training or doing something that felt meaningful together. Lying around and talking was definitely not something they were accustomed to. How better to reunite with their brother than see how his skills had held up since he'd left? Maybe he'd learned something since he'd left, but it seemed just as likely he'd let his training fall to the wayside. That worry wasn't anything personal, just Seiko wanting to hold their siblings to the high standards that they knew they could achieve.

They weren't left waiting for long. Keito answered their call, and earned a respectful nod of acknowledgment from their sibling. "Keito. I'm glad you made it home safely." Nothing in the world would Seiko from their family, certainly not chasing after a mother they felt didn't deserve any more care than she had shown her own offspring. Though Seiko didn't understand their brother's reasoning, they wouldn't dwell on it for long, let alone judge him for his choices.

At least, not out loud.

Keito knew exactly why they'd called him, earning a faint and rarely-seen smile from the serious Hattori. "Show me, then," they returned the friendly rivalry, happy to skip past pleasantries that they didn't quite know how to work with and jump right into a fight. That was far more their language, one they could speak far more easily than using words.

They reflexively stiffened as Keito charged, having anticipated a fight right off the bat. Instead of trying to dodge the abrupt attack, they'd try to hold strong against it, pushing their slightly larger frame against his own. Lifting a paw to aid in their balance, they'd attempt to lunge forward hard, jaws unhinging and aiming to grab hold of his scruff.
