I told you so!

Her brow furrowed and a frown pulled at her lips when he simply insisted that he had to protect her. Even with the explanation that he was her responsibility thanks to her father she still didn't understand. Why would he take on a blow like that just to push her out of the way instead of them both dodging it, both jumping into the fight. It didn't make sense. She was glad that he was alright, but... It was so frustrating. What did he take her for, some damsel in distress that needed to be saved? She sighed and shook her head, letting the anger and tension go. He meant well, she knew he did. It was just annoying. And also infuriating that he would just put himself in danger and worry her instead.

"A pack of those dire wolves attacked the armada not long after I visited with you last. I ended up fighting one of them off with my brother," she explained after a moment as she looked down at her paws to check her claws and make sure none of them had gotten broken or torn in the fight. "I knew what to expect. That's why I was just trying to help you come up with a plan. I didn't care either way, I just needed a direction so that we were on the same page." Instead, he had pushed her down to "save" her and took the full burnt of the impact. Silly boy.

She brought her gaze up to his again as she got up, nudging his shoulder with her's, sighing softly. "Just... Make us a team next time. I can fight. Don't act like I can't."
