big brotherly duty

Kotori didn’t like the guy.  He was loud and arrogant.  He was, of course, Iki’s brother and she took her station seriously so it made sense he’d be an arrogant ass too.  However, Ikigai was a lot prettier than this clown.  He seemed to be completely opposite of her so far.  

Kotori moved to stand next to the wolf so only a foot or so between the two heads, irritated perhaps more than he should be.  The wolf is rude and crude charging on the pack land with attitude and arrogance.  That was the main thing that ticked Kotori off.  Considering how Ikigai couldn’t fight perhaps being protective had some logic.

“One of my sisters is seeing someone.  I didn’t go onto their pack’s land hollering like that.”  He had been thinking of wanting to meet the guy Briar liked but he hadn’t so it didn’t matter if he had similar thoughts on it.  He didn’t want to understand how this guy thought, he just wanted to dislike him for the entrance he was making.

“I can’t fathom how you two are related.  For one thing, she’s beautiful and you’re,” he waved a paw as if searching for a word, “well, not.”  Kotori smirked, “She’s graceful and dainty and incredibly smart,” the compliments rained down on his thoughts on Ikigai, “whereas I’m not sure if you’ve got any more brains than the last bear I fought.  Which, if you need a hint, wasn’t much smarter than a rock.”

“Anyway, I like your sister, I’m seeing your sister, and planning to go see her again soon.  Are we done?” Kotori hadn’t started a fight but insulting the guy while being up in his face wasn’t very friendly either.  How far did the guy want to push him?  Another part of his mind wondered if anyone heard who would have questions on it.
