Baited Breath

As he turned to leave there was the quick sound of pawsteps and then a tug at his side. Ashmedai growled and spun around to face Sparrow. She asked him what was wrong and why he didn't want to see the pups. She actually wanted her to congratulate Rhythm? He could have laughed. He didn't feel like laughing. After a moment of silence, she looked at him with wide, concerned eyes and asked him again what was wrong. His eyes narrowed and he drew close to Sparrow, "You don't even live here and you're trying to fix problems you don't know about. You're better off staying here with your little family and being happy while it lasts. Before they replace you too. I'm sure you have someone in your family like that... right, Sparrow?" he spat. He loomed over her, waiting for her to turn away.
