Hattori wasn't quite sure about that. He found it hard to believe the Hallows wouldn't take offence to such an action, that in the best case scenario he'd owe them something in return. A situation that was quick to bring a scowl to his features, deep set and thoughtful, wholly against what he and Tojo stood for. Strength in their own independence, self resilience whilst not bothering other packs unless need be. In the most basic terms; live and let live. Instead of feeling a spark of offence, a jab at his pride, he saw the bird's intentions for what they most likely were. Pure, an honest attempt to help simply because it seemed to be young, didn't know any better.

How to best go about this? He pursed his lips thin, ears tipping slightly as debated his approach. He was not an outwardly awkward man but he'd gotten complacent amongst his own, comfortable in their routines and used to their social cues. A bird from a pack of an entirely different culture though? It was hard not to fall back into old, usual habits, distant and aloof. Probably rude to some.

"I do not think they would-" How best to say it? Uh."They are affiliated with someone who does not like me, I presume they do not view me in a very favourable light either." More than that why was he so insistent there was something wrong with him? Honey? Hattori blinked. "I am Hattori, Kaicho of Tojo-Kai. A pack to the south, within the Bamboo. I appreciate the offer but it is fine, I am well. This is just...how I speak."

Surely it wasn't so bad? Not that mattered but no one had ever mentioned it before.
