Don't fuck it up, now

Azure's tattered ear flicked briefly as Kotori mentioned their father, the words a subtle unintended blow to his pride. He was here as an alpha, not a visitor. Sirius had vacated that post temporarily and could come give his proud father act later, once he was done tending to his newest litter of problems. "I thought it was fitting that the Armada be the first to congratulate you, seeing as we built you." He gave back with a sarcastic shrug.

"Eh, you'll get enough gifts I'm sure. Briar will bring wine, that much I've paid attention to. The common bribe of everyone else I'm afraid to say I never saw. Downside of not having a hand in the diplomacy of it all - you skip out on the presents." While Sirius had always done the bulk of negotiations and thus got the reward, Azure honestly had been thankful for it. Socializing was not his strong suit, he'd much rather work the day-to-day and ignore the inter-pack bullshit.

Kotori led him deeper and Azure followed, gaze roaming politely as they walked. As they paced along the river, diplomatic discussion began and Azure drew his eyes back to his brother's to listen. "I hadn't heard of it before now." He admitted, though it was clear in his tone that he wasn't quite bothered by the fact. Not telling him about the brewing alliance with Menagerie was annoying, but not clearing with him an alliance with his successful brother was.. well, much less offensive. A waste of words, really. "Your terms are acceptable to me, I don't care to negotiate what my father has already I assume spent careful thought on." He especially liked the clause on idiots - with Ashen as his neighbour and superior so very long ago, Az had not the permission to kick out the riffraff.

Reaching what was soon to be a bridge, Azure paused and idled. "You don't worry it will make them lazy?" Rapids built muscle, or at least character, didn't they? Ah, well, he supposed it was no different then the Armada carving through stone to make climbing the mountain less strenuous.
