The acknowledgment speaks volumes. Akito is sure now that he has passed part of the test as Hattori moves to unlatch the gate. His eyes are quick to move around the small clearing. There, off to the side, a bundle of bamboo that had been cleared to make a new path. One ear turns to pay attention to what Hattori is doing. Akito would not allow himself to be caught off guard. Even as the other wolf's words reach him, he only nods in affirmation. The pup knows that the Kaicho will not allow harm to come to him. This leopard is nothing for the mass of power that stands right on the other side. In a way, having the Kaicho there eases the fear that ticks at the back of his breath, causing his mouth to go dry and his heart to beat slightly faster.

Instead, Akito uses this change in his body to guide him. He does not succumb to the fear but lets him propel him forward. His paws are sure and firm as they hit the dirt. Closing the gap between him and the stack of bamboo, he grabs a piece lengthy enough that it can hold back the leopard and not throw him off balance. It is lightweight and sturdy. Swinging it a few times, he turns to Hattori. Readying himself by slightly spacing out his paws, setting his shoulders, raising his hackles, and folding his ears, he lets out a chuff to alert Hattori that he is ready.
