Azure's reaction to Basilisk's words was as sudden as it was uncontrollable — a bark of laughter, tinged with a hysteria that betrayed the pressure he had been under. It was an odd response (even inappropriate given the gravity of their conversation) yet, for Azure, it was as if a dam had burst within him. This release, this unguarded moment of near absurdity, proved more cathartic than even the physical clash they'd had earlier.

Regaining some semblance of control, he pulled away from his son, tilting his head back to gaze at the moon above. A deep, steadying sigh escaped him as he tried to recompose himself. "You think my fear is about watching him die?" Azure's voice was tinged with a cold amusement. "No, my son. I'm more afraid that I might be the one to kill him."

Recognizing the need to soften the bluntness of his previous statement, Azure’s tone shifted once more. "I know it's hard for you to understand, but Sirius... he's replaced her. My mother. With someone else. And I... I just can't stand to see that."

Azure's gaze drifted away, lost in the painful thoughts he was about to share. "I can't imagine it, Bas. I can't imagine sitting next to him in the pack meetings, watching some other wolf cozy up to him. Seeing her nuzzle into the fur where my mother used to lay." His voice was tinged with a palpable sense of betrayal, a hurt that went deeper than just the loss of Zee. It was the erasure of her presence, her memory, that cut him so deeply.

"I can't step into his den and be suffocated by her scent where my mother's used to be." The words came out slowly, each one a struggle. "It feels like a betrayal, not just to your grandmother's memory, but to everything I've ever known about loyalty." Azure paused, a deep breath steadying his voice as he added another layer to his confession. "You know me, you know how I am. If I go back and see that... see her in my mother's place...." He shook his head, a rueful acknowledgement of his own shortcomings. "My father is possessive, fiercely so. He wouldn't tolerate any disrespect towards her, not even from me. It would be a disaster waiting to happen." Azure's gaze returned to Basilisk's, seeking understanding. "Staying away is a kindness to them both. I can't be there, not without risking everything we've built. I already wish her dead, and I've yet to even learn her name."

"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.
