He'd been watching the prisoner for some time now. While he wasn't the most interesting thing in the world, he didn't allow Vlad out of his sight. He was confined to the den that Ace had allowed him to stay in. And lucky for Vlad, Ace had felt just the smallest shred of decency. Had he not, the male would have been sleeping out in the cold, but Ace was above doing something like that. Lucky Vlad. He thought. The way the male looked at him though was beginning to irritate him. He was prideful, that much was a fact. He could see it written all over his captive, but Ace didn't give him any satisfaction. Today though, Ace was going to let him know his place. To ensure he got the message loud and clear. He was no more than a prisoner until his fate was decided, and until then, they were going to have to deal with each other. With that in mind, Ace strolled up to his captives den without even bothering to announce himself. Vlad had no rights to privacy anyway, and any amount of protest and whining would fall on deaf ears. "You, get your ass up. We're going to have a little talk." He stood at the mouth of the den, barring any attempts for the man to get around him. "speech"

He didn't care much for the man that was his constant guard. They didn't talk and that was alright by Vladimir. He didn't give a crap about any of these goody two shoes around here. Bunch of hypocrites if you asked him. Though no one did ask him so no one cared. So he didnt care about them. It was an endless cycle now wasnt it. They saw him for shit he was innocent of and he saw them for things they were guilty of, everyone loses.

The approach of the Male didnt go completely unnoticed by him but it did disturb his nap. After all what else was he supposed to do.  The words were met with a lazy look. A yawn then came. They were making him lazy and fat with all this confinement. "Why? So you can hate me for shit I haven't done? Pass." he sat up anyway though. His eyes locked on the other man's, narrowed. "I can at least say my packs slaves get to stretch their legs and mingle."  it wasnt a challenge just a statement of fact. They wanted to keep him a slave, but they couldn't even award him at least liberty to move around the area farther than to piss. Hypocrites. Hate the slavers, but treat their own worse than the slavers. No one even thought to ask, oh hows vlad today? Or oh did vlad need a punishment?

At least they didnt try to hide their slaves and forget they existed.

He growled at the man's words, causing his fur to prickle with irritation and his teeth to show. Day in and day out he had to stare at this piece of shit with his judgmental gaze, acting like he was hot shit and like he hadn't done anything wrong. He stepped forward, aiming to roughly thrust his chest against Vlad's. His stance was dominant, tail high above his hips as he stood at his full height. "Listen you sack of shit, you don't get to decide what you do or make demands, do you understand?" He hissed, his muzzle just inches from Vlad's. "I don't give a shit what you wretches did, you're a slaver and that's all you are in everyone's eyes, and I won't hear another goddamn excuse from you. If you had been smart, you wouldn't have conveniently put yourself in the position you're in, but it seems you and your ilk are all a bunch of dumbasses!" He didn't back off from him, but rather kept his stance and remained in Vlad's face. And there he would remain unless the other male decided to back off. Ace didn't care for nonsense, and he sure as Hell wasn't going to put up with it with this whiny brat. Sure, the guy was probably a couple years younger than he was, but he sure acted like a bratty little teenager. "After the shit you've done, waltzing up to our borders acting like your hot shit...and then having the nerve to 'ask' Rhyme and whoever else you're looking for to come back with you to return to slavery? What the fuck did you think was going to happen? That they'd follow you?" He snorted. The idea that this guy thought that would work was incredible. Ace couldn't even fathom what the hell this guy thought he was doing, let alone thinking it was a good idea to begin with. "You're even dumber than you look. And if the rest of them fight as bad as you, then I guess we won't have anything to worry about when we go to tear them apart." "Speak"
