Honey Badger Just Don't Care

"You assume an awful lot, my friend"
Honey Badger Lawyer scratched the side of his muzzle
Whiskers quivering in itch pleasure

Legal Lion looked serious
"My pride does not want to grant that herd permission
And that's the end of story
If they come we will slaughter their old and young"

Honey Badger Lawyer knew when he was being intimidated
And he wanted to lash out at this so called Legal Lion
But he restrained himself
Attempting to be professional
An entire herd of oryx were counting on him
To negotiate safe passage in advance of their migration

Making a steeple of his small black clawed paws
Honey Badger Lawyer looked thoughtful

"Is it now? Is it really the end of our little story here?
Or perhaps there is more to tell after all?"
Reaching into a large legal folder in front of him
Honey Badger Lawyer pulls out some photographs
"I acquired these from the last National Geographic expedition
They may be of interest to you
Or more precisely
To a particular Alpha Male"

Sliding the photos across the table to Legal Lion
Honey Badger Lawyer took pleasure in seeing his rival's face
Shock and surprise
That his transgressions were recorded

Legal Lion sputtered
"This.....this...is unacceptable! You've gone to far this time!
Even you can't condone blackmail like this!"

Honey Badger Lawyer just looked at his opponent
Eyes half lidded as if he didn't have a care in the world
He let the Legal Lion fuss himself out
And let the following silence hang in the air for five long minutes
Finally breaking it with a statement
"So we have an agreement then?"

Legal Lion nodded slowly

Ten minutes later
Leaving with his legal folder
Holding signed documents of permission for his clients
He could feel the stare of angry resentment on his back
Legal Lion didn't approve of his tactics

However

Honey Badger Lawyer just didn't give a shit
