No relief

Mala couldn't help but to giggle deviously at the image of Azure, raging and covered in shit. Hell, it's what he deserved, if he acted towards Malalia the way he acted with everyone else. And it would seem so, if Mort's words were any indication. His little sigh hadn't gone unnoticed, and as he went on about his brother, the she-wolf couldn't help but frown, just a little, at the heir's behavior. It sounded like he'd been that way for a while, even before the competition for sole heir was announced. At least that might have given some semblance of a reason for the boys behavior, however pitiful... but no. Sirius, Mortis, then Zee and Indigo, and probably Aslatiel, they were all amiable. It was all him.
Gods, she really hated that little shit.
"I... try not to," she murmured. "I won't lie, he got under my skin. But it's more than that. Azure would be easy enough to ignore if he wasn't an heir. But there's a possibility that I'll have to answer to him, one day." Suddenly, she was shaking her head. "I — I really can't see myself doing that. He isn't just not good with people, he doesn't care. Skills can be learned, if you work hard enough at them. But from what I'm seeing now...? You deserve it more than he does." Her eyes narrowed cheekily. "And I'm not just saying that because you're my friend." Azure may have been his brother, but Mal had no qualms against bad-mouthing the kid. It was the truth. Or at least, it was what she honestly believed.
She softened at the idea he proposed, and tossed a friendly wink the boy's way, tail wishing happily. "Sounds like a good plan to me." She was always up to train, and sparring with someone as cheerful and determined as Mort, well, it wasn't a hardship.
