don't hiss at me

For the most part Hattori's patrols were uneventful, but the same most certainly couldn't be said of today. He followed the line that split Ashen and the Armada, only to pause as the potent scent of swan dung met his nostrils. It wasn't all that uncommon to come across birds during his ventures but they'd never been so brazen to just mark over territory that was already covered by not one wolf pack but two. He would have simply let the matter go, given that a swan wasn't really worth his time but it occurred to him that swan meat was considered a delicacy by some and perhaps....Well, Ashen's larder was looking increasingly bare with each passing day.
Steering off course, Hattori followed the smelly brown smears and the telltale flippery foot prints that meandered through the mud. They were freshly waddled, the swan couldn't have gotten far.
