[He visibly scoffs at the inquiry, releasing his grip on the others wrist to fold in on himself in thought; one arm in his lap and chin resting on the knuckles of the other where it's propped on his knee. The name, the mention of a mask, they all mean very little and he hesitates in asking for more details but that blasted raven.. No, if someone wanted them dead it would have happened by now, or so he reasons and as long as this stranger maintains simple observation and nothing more, he doesn't need to add it to his growing lists of concerns just yet.
Houou catches himself brooding for a moment; always the same worries, even after all these years and one would think, given the amount, he would have outlived at least some of them by now but, as ever, it isn't the case and unwanted specters creep back no matter how much time passes..much like his memories. ..Houou, what have you done?. What indeed. There was fire then too, smoke so thick through the trees that they could barely see.]
..what I had to.[The words slip out on a breath, barely audible and he shakes from the memory to regard Kawauso with a droll look.]
Nothing so pedestrian that I could name. Just a shadow with similarities to old ghosts and one too many sleepless nights I fear. That name holds no significance that I can fathom, but I will alert the others all the same..It wouldn't do for us to be caught on the back foot after all..
