Life on Mars

Askan frowned and his tail twitched. He somewhat appreciated the sentiment, even if it felt a little insulting, but Askan had no intentions of joining the Armada. Ever. He'd made his bed and he'd lay in it. If he went back on his spiteful words and posturing then what kind of man would he be? Not many folks took him seriously as it was, thought that he was all bark with no bite, like a pup who's teeth hadn't yet grown in. But he felt as though if he did a 180 he'd be seen as a coward, a flake, so eager to please that he'd hold back who he was just to fit in. Askan wasn't the sort to cling onto his heritage and the prestige that it brought but if he sunk that low he'd be less than a wolf and a mongrel at best.
"Hmm. No thanks." At least he had the mind to-somewhat- politely decline.
He moved then, deciding that he'd overstayed his welcome and that he had places to be. Despite their rocky start and not so smooth middle, Askan decided that whilst he didn't like her by any means she wasn't the worst wolf in the world. She was clever and shrewd and her tongue was a little too sharp for his liking, but it wasn't as if he enjoyed talking to slower wolves either. Though he wouldn't admit it meeting these kinds of characters was good for him, helped broaden his horizons a little and gave him some much needed social practice. He hadn't gotten much better, or made any real improvements as much as he could tell but whatever, it wasn't like it was a big deal to him anyway. Or so he'd claim.
For a moment he idly wondered if he'd ever see her again. If he even wanted to. He supposed he'd leave it to fate, or chance or whatever. He looked to the east, recalling the beaches and hot springs she'd mentioned, they sounded as good as a place to start as any.
"See you around. And send Sirius my regards." His smirk was wide, sardonic, and for once his smile reached his eyes, like it meant something.
