If his disgust bothered her, she showed no sign of it, but that did not cause it to falter from his facade. If anything, her nonchalance at the situation only irritated him further.Dutch and Thoren were siblings, but that did not mean they were similar in personality or convictions. Where Dutch put her children first, Thoren did not. He had none to worry about and thus, would not go down without a fight...even if his skill in fighting was...subpar at best. Dutch had used him as a sparring dummy enough for him to have a general feel for how it worked, however.

A quirked brow and a slick response would make him snort. The father would pay. "Then release her and we can be on our way." He stated firmly, paws settling firmly into the soil to balance his weight evenly- just as Dutch had taught him. If she was paid for he had no qualm with Valkyrie. He would leave with his sister, she was after all the only reason he was here.
