The cat's derision snapped Basileus out of his melancholy funk. He snarled up at the cat, his gaze a hard challenge. The short-legged little bastard wouldn't speak so freely, would he, if they were face to face. No, he mocked because he felt safe out of reach. Because he felt some misguided sense of superiority over Enrico's captive. Much to his surprise, Enrico came to his defense. Kind of. His words managed to drop Basileus' rage to an unhappy simmer. He eyed Enrico, displeased with the idea that the man thought so little of him, before replying in an aggrieved tone, "It's you I have vendetta with, not your people." Although he had recently added the cat to his shit list, everyone else, while he loathed their complacency, were just being good little soldiers and he couldn't fault them for their inaction. But, Enrico had a point. He couldn't trust him and considering where they were starting, one a captive with a vendetta and the other a captor with every reason to be wary, there was no way they could get to a place of trust. They each had their reasons for being entrenched in their convictions and giving up ground could be deadly. So he answered honestly, his voice grim, "No, you can't." |
