Tyger Tyger, burning bright

Hattori tensed as the tiger exploded out of the undergrowth, and made to slash at Usagi who had only just arrived on scene. He was somewhat taken aback at how aggressive the feline was acting, as though wolf visitors were so few and far between in these parts it was only natural to go on the offensive. To protect the few slices of land that hadn't yet been claimed by what they no doubt perceived as outsiders. He was unsure if this was going to develop into an issue or not, but he had better things to do rather than stand around thinking about the what ifs. Launching into action, Hattori spared Tsunami a look as she joined the fold, a witty comment rolling off her tongue as she reminded him of their first meeting. A lot had changed since then, but was it for the better?

Knowing they had more than enough muscle present to chase the tiger off, if not bring it down, Hattori was swift to leap into the fray and pull his weight. Making a grab for the soft, exposed inner front left leg, Hattori yanked back with all his might with the intention of destabilising the beast. If they managed to pin it down it would be a battle win and maybe they'd get a nice tiger coat out of it.
