see lion? sea lion

Hattori grunted slightly as he watched the boy fumble and fall, though it wasn't entirely his fault and he had landed a solid blow in the process. Hattori moved in to offer support, skirting around to the side so he could make a lunge for its tail, his teeth digging into one of its hind flippers. He arched his back, yanking as hard as he could, aiming to give Akito time to resituate himself and to keep the sea lion under pressure and pain. Whether they killed the creature wasn't all that important to Hattori, if it yielded and left never to return he saw no need to kill it. But if it wished to fight to the death, then so be it.
