The Boys

Azure had not been in any shape to discuss with his father and Warlord when he arrived home from his impromptu 'adventure' to the pirate's beach. He had shouldered past the man with a brief promise to explain later and drove himself directly into Hana's side to rest, then to Lyre's to be healed. Once the necessities were taken care of, it was time to fulfil his promise. Sirius would surely be curious how the confrontation had gone, and Azure knew it was his responsibility to make sure the warlord was prepared for any potential retaliation. His father had posed it in the most casual way, inviting him on an expedition out from the territory, a few nights of drinking and relaxing away from worries or responsibility. Az had approved of the idea, comfortable only leaving Hana with the knowledge that his servant would keep her in good health (and hopefully, begin ensuring that Hana would never find herself away for a prolonged period again.)

Crossing the battlefield into an adjacent plain that resembled it, the pair entered the plateau as the sun began to set. They would need to rest here before heading out further, and Azure found them a position beside various odd artifacts and a dead tree that could be used for kindling. He prepped them a fire and sprawled out before it, distinctly feeling the absence of his eartip where there should have been heat but was none. "I won, there's no disputing that." He began, approaching the conversation tentatively for fear of Sirius' judgement. The Warlord knew of protection and vengeance, but there were times Azure knew he thought his son went overboard in delivering judgement.
