zanshin tactics

Sirius offered up something Azure wasn't expecting and with the attitude of a typical teenager couldn't restrain himself from muttering a short, "I wasn't asking for it." In reply. After all, he'd already accidentally and very firmly insisted to Hana that the two were engaged. Fuck.

To the rest his expression grew argumentative, and his tongue swiped over his teeth as he considered over his father's frustratingly final decision. "I'm fine with putting her on lockdown, actually." He squared his shoulders and stood toe to toe with his father boldly, unwilling to let the matter go so easily. "Even this idiot agrees, and if he remains here willingly then Venom will have no issue with it. Let the wolf tell us where these slavers are hiding, and leave Mortis out of it. I don't trust him to kill a wolf if it came to it, and I'm not willing to put Hana's life on the line to test him." There was the unspoken worry of Azure's that he didn't want his brother in danger either - how skilled this man was they had no idea. The last thing he wanted was for him and Sirius to enact their revenge, then turn around to find Mortis dead and the koi-wolf vanished.
