Okami shifted, setting the cup down next to him gently, sighing and resting his chin on his knees, "It was...an assassination attempt...I don't blame Akito for it, I never did. His kingdom and mine have been at war for as long as anyone can remember, but a treaty was signed before my birth, in hopes that there could finally be some peace. His parents seemed willing enough...but they used Akito to try to get close to me and kill me." He sighed, rubbing at the scar on his chest, "It was raining that night...I was coming home when he attacked."

He smiled sheepishly, "I guess I was tired...because he managed to get the upper hand but...instead of killing me, he...just ran off. My brother managed to get to me in time." He shook his head, "I suppose I should hate Akito but...I don't."

He laughed softly, "I bet that he wouldn't let us know even if he was uncomfortable."
