[ Kakashi was just minding his own business, flipping through the pages of his book on a bench when the sun started to shine right on him in a way that made the hitai-ate strapped to his forehead a little uncomfortable. A slight adjustment seemed to be in order, so he thought it would be a good idea to untie the thing and air it out a bit, flicking his wrist to wave the strip of fabric with its attached metal plate through the air.

And it just so happens to be that he was mid-wave when, out of nowhere, a fucking monkey appeared and grabbed his hitai-ate and made off with it.

So here's Kakashi, staring with a rather unimpressed expression in the direction of the monkey who's scampered off a good ten feet away with the thing already, and up a tree. It's too damn hot for him to chase after the thing, so maybe he might just kunai it and call it a day. Though, if that monkey is anyone's pet, that would make for an awkward encounter that would go something like, "Sorry, I killed your monkey because he stole my headband." Which probably wouldn't make for a good first impression when you're still pretty new in town and all.

He sighs wearily and gets up from the bench, heading slowly over to the tree with his hands in his pockets and stares up at the monkey. ]

You know, I really would like to avoid exerting any effort to get that back. [ He points up at the hitai-ate in the monkey's hands. ] But if you make me actually have to do anything in this weather, you're going to regret it.

[ Yeeeeeeeeup.

He's talking to the monkey like he expects it will understand him. ]
