die and rise again and again [ASHEN MEETING]

"Speech"

Malachai sat up slightly taller as he was promoted, though he visibly perked with the offer to challenge for something even higher. But he remained quiet, he could play good little citizen as he waited, even giving the royal brats a chance to say their pieces before he'd also pipe up, lifting his deep baritone. "I'd also like to challenge the Shogun for the position of Samurai." Malachai said, his voice strong, mismatched eyes following the man as he stood and started walking away, already getting ready to fight his own son. He didn't really wait for a response, instead Malachai rising to his paws, intent on heading back to his den and getting his own weapon, no intention of giving quarter, even if it was a formal challenge.
