boys will be boys

His father addressed him first, and he felt a burst of pride as his father acknowledged the work he had been putting into the pack. Azure went on, complimenting him further, and acknowledging his versatile skills. Wrought by the time he had spent with different wolves on the pack, and taking an interest in what they did. All of the hard work was worth it for that very moment. His father was not generous in his praise, and that made it worth so much more.

When Azure turned their attention to Levi, Basilisk sat at attention, his expression blank. It surprised him how difficult it was to listen to his father praise another. He wanted to help Callie work her way into their fathers grace, and for that he thought he would find pride in his siblings' achievements. His own jealousy, in turn, took him by surprise.

His father addressed them as a group then, telling them that the other had a skill the other lacked. His eyes glanced at Levi, wondering what he had, and what he was missing. He would find out exactly what that was with his fathers next words. He looked back at Azure, a faint impression of puzzlement making its way past his mask. Intent to kill? He did a great deal of killing. He had killed predators and prey alike in the name of the Armada. But as their father went on, he understood Azure meant something a little different. The ability to be aggressive to another wolf. to brutalise his opponents as his father put it.

He almost didn’t hear the rest of his fathers words. The tone a droning noise past his ears, as frustration and determination bled through. He would not be second to Levi. Not in anything.

His father wanted him to be brutal? Then it was clear what was expected of him. He set his stances, and that would be the only warning Levi would have. He launched himself forward at the other wolf. His intent would be to wrap his larger paws around the smaller wolf. The titanic wolf knew his biggest advantage was reach and weight.
