OOC: All PP / minor maim approved by Talia!

Perhaps it was a good thing Azure had decided to remain so close, witnessing the tail end of Levi's battle (and disappointing loss) as well as what came next. To his son's credit he did not come out the loser this time around, but still the fact that allied yearlings were trading blows so aggressively did nothing to improve the image of the Empire as they showed their support to Recluse. One brawl could be explained away - and while Az would have had words with Recluse over the actions of her son, the rivalry would not have been damaging to relations - but a second child, coming to dog pile Levi before he'd even had the chance to recover from his loss... well, there was only so long Azure could sit and observe.

He pushed himself to his paws as Macabre initiated, reaching the brawling yearlings just as Levi's maim landed. With one swipe of his wide paw he shoved his son away, separating the combatants, and turning back to the aggressor to deliver a much needed burst of discipline.

In one smooth movement that he hoped would be subtle to the more-distant spectators, Azure hooked Macabre's rear left paw with his own and pulled it out from under him, extending the limb perpendicularly from his body. At the same time the other paw came down upon the boy's upper leg, the entirety of Az's weight pitching forward against the bone there until he heard it crack.

Following Macabre's frame as it buckled beneath his attack (looking, y'know, like a caring supervising adult or something), he pushed his muzzle toward the yearlings ear, his words spoken low and meant for Macabre alone. "You have shamed not only Habari and the Ashen Empire, but also your mother, who is currently fighting for her crown. Use your fucking head." Cuffing the yearling's opposite ear with his pawpad, he intended to use the force behind the hit to 'encourage' him toward his sibling spectators. "Go sit by your siblings and keep your fucking mouth shut or I swear I will drag you back to the Nook myself." By the boy's broken femur, most likely.

Straightening, Azure turned and left the Klein child behind. Stalking past Levi (and giving him a 'we'll talk later' sort of look) he moved to return to the group of spectating adults, fixing his eyes firmly upon Recluse and damn-near praying she won - if only so she would maintain enough of a position of control to make yelling at her later even the slightest bit productive.

"Speech"




Both of Azure's ears have notches and tears.
Az has a scar across his right eye, a mirror image of his natural born marking.
Azure has saber fangs, bone spurs on his elbows and knees, and the paws/forelimbs of a bear.
Not all of these features are always reflected in his art.

Azure's companions are a very big bat and a young clouded leopard, unless otherwise stated assume they're not with him.
