yes YES The tiger is out

What was with all the tigers as of late? Were they simply very common on Auster, or was it due to some lunar event he couldn't possibly know about because he was a wolf? Probably the latter. The white and black stripped feline flicked its ears back as Hattori stepped into the grove, the dark of his nose twitching as he caught the scent of freshly shed blood. The feline had no doubt made a kill lately and had slunk out here to clean the blood off its coat, only to be caught unaware by a nosey dire wolf.

With a snarl, it swatted at the air in an attempt to ward him off. But for some reason, as though he was merely a puppet at the mercy of an indecisive person's whim, he stubbornly held his ground. Just in time for the white tiger to kick off into a pounce attack, teeth bared and claws at the ready.
