People who are terrible influences and help him sneak out

Oh. Did you need a rogue thief to play with Hotohori? Not sure how well they'd get along, but if by making friends with a minor country, Nori could find out some interesting intel about border tensions and stuff, he'd make nice well enough. Maybe even mentor him a bit if he's feeling generous and/or it seems a good trade?

Idk just random ideas! I want Nori in everyone's business.
