to be well prepared

Hattori's persistence sits with Akito in a way that causes unease in him. For even the Kaicho to insist that he not pursue someone or several someones that were potential threats meant something significant. Who exactly were these mysterious wolves that set the whole of Tojo-kai on edge? His expression changes to a slightly disgruntled one as he takes a step back and bows his head. Patience was one thing he was still getting a grasp on, but it got better as the day went by. Instead, he focused on the last piece that the Kaicho says.

Hone your skills.

Akito's ears perk and he looks up at the Kaicho. "Do you have a moment for me or shall I seek out Usagi?" The boy questions as his tail wags a few times. Training with Hattori was probably his favorite activity as the man was forward, direct, and didn't beat around the bush. Plus, being pushed to and past his limits helped him succeed faster than most of his siblings.
