a laughing matter

The hyenas weren't laughing now, or at the very least they ought to not be. Hattori let out a long sigh, his ear flicking a little as he observed those who lingered afar, it was clear they had little interest in trying their luck but they wished to be an annoyance all the same. Making just as much noise and ruckus as they had before, perhaps it was simply just in their nature to be be insufferably annoying. Though at the very least the trio of wolves had taken them down a peg or two, reminded them that there were plenty of wolves in these parts for a reason.  Or maybe not, given the fact he'd run into these wolves more times than what would pass as a mere coincidence. It seemed unlikely that they were following him with ill intentions in mind, since they'd helped him a time or two, but he would have been awfully naive if the thought didn't at the very least occur to him.

"Be seeing you." He rumbled with a polite dip of his head as turned to venture on.
