Askan rolled his eyes again, so hard they hurt. Lords above she was a whiny thing. He supposed it showed that she had some spine, that she wasn't just taking it on the chin but he wished she'd just shut her trap and let it slide. After all, why did she always have to have the last word? Of course it went without saying that he did the exact same thing; got all pissy and insistent that he had the last word, that he ended the conversation with the upper hand but when she did it...well it was frustrating. Like their conversation had devolved into a tug of war, with Askan yanking in one direction and Malalia in the other.
"Tcch. Now you're just being pedantic. If you want to get worked up over a simple question that's also your choice." No skin off his nose. But of course, yet again he was throwing stones in a glass house. Sooner or later the ceiling would come crashing down on him.
For once she agreed with him, a bit curtly though. He expected her to go on and explain why that was, but she didn't and for a long, frustrating moment she left in in the dark like she'd snuffed out the lights. His brows furrowed as he adjusted his footing, careful to keep his paws out of the water. The moment lingered on and on and he'd been about to press her to continue when she finally turned to him once more. Her explanation cleared things up, he supposed, that the Armada was just an offshoot of another pack. It kind of reminded him of home and The Arcadian Emirate, with its branching subordinate packs that all dedicated their time to being as snooty, and booty licky as possible. Ugh. The more he heard of the Ashen Empire the less he wanted to do with it.
"Yeah I get it."
But then he wondered what sort of wolf would be good enough for The Warlord to want to serve? Not that it mattered at all really, Askan's mind was made regarding everything Ashen.
