a lack of security

If there was one thing in the world Basilisk hated most, it was disappointing his father. So, he was rather subdued and quiet as his father led him and his sister into the woods. If Callio wasn’t with them, he half expected his father was leading him out here to abandon him. The stern, stoic Champion didn’t take well to failures after all. Had Basilisk pushed too far?

When Azure stopped, the boy flicked his gaze to his father, and then to Callio, seeing some of her own nerves or excitement in the beats of her color. Yeah, well, she wasn’t the one in trouble. As his father addressed him, Bas’s ears flattered to his skull . “I broke the rules, Sir”
