Miles away

She asked for his name and avoided his question entirely. A grumble of distaste at that came from deep within him. He did not take well to her dodging him at all. His lip twitched as he did his best to hold a calmer demeanor with this woman. She was submissive enough that he did not worry much about her fighting back too much should he decide her worth his time, but he would not waste the effort if she did not prove capable of learning her permanent place beneath him. Males were superior to him, and he would never believe otherwise. Women would never hold any ranks that meant much, councils were made for men. Her question was fair enough but he would not give her the immediate relief of learning his name yet. make her think for a bit on answering her superiors first.

His eyes were intense as they burned holes in her skull. Even as she submitted with her posture he wanted to push her to understand he was her superior, to submit completely without him needing to do much. "Daemon Areus." His answer was dry but truthful. He had no intention of hiding his identity from a female. If he took her as his she would need to know his name anyway. Besides coming up with an alias would take too much thought and he hated to think too much.

He was about to push more and see about forcing her into the start of his collection when another came. His ear twitched at the male's voice. He sounded too chipper and happy for Dae's tastes. His eyes moved to the male but he kept Rylee in his peripheral vision. She wold not escape so easily. He gave a snort at the male. He did not live here, what ever made the male think that. His scent was not lingering in these tunnels like a unofficial claim so he could not say he resided here. And sledding? What ever the hell was that? HE was a warrior and did not find himself in need of anything but training. Besides he did not come to make friends so easily. A brow lifted and he spoke with intensity and maybe a slight bit of interest. "The fuck is sledding? Is that some sort of training in these lands?" If it was he was keen to do it and leave the woman behind.
