Azure fixed Basilisk with a look that was both stern and incredulous, the weight of his son's words settling heavily upon him. "You're thinking of your family by leaving them? Or by dooming them to the life of a loner, with no warm den, no consistent source of food, no safety from predators nor enemies?" His questions were sharply spoken, his tone laced with skepticism. "Basilisk, you don't just walk away from a position like crown prince. It's not a role you can set down and pick back up when it suits you."

He acknowledged Basilisk's efforts to find him, but there was no softness in his response. "I understand you searched for me, and I won't disregard that effort. But don't confuse that sort of absence with what you're considering now. Leaving the pack, even temporarily, it's a decision that carries more weight than you seem to realize." Who else could take up the mantle? Basilisk was correct in the options available to replace him, but none of Azure's siblings had even begun to earn such a role. Sirius could have replaced Bas in title at anytime he wished - Bas was Azure's choice for heir, and with Azure gone (he didn't even want to acknowledge the fact that there was apparently a contest for his rank) there was no reason to not give the role to a Fatalis of any other generation. One closer in blood to Sirius then Basilisk was.  

He shook his head, a mix of frustration and concern in his eyes. "Just because I'm choosing a different path doesn't mean I'm lost to you, or to the pack. We can still meet, talk, share our lives. But you... you have the opportunity to lead, to shape the Armada's future. To one day pass that legacy to your child. As you've so clearly stated, Sirius is on borrowed time."

Azure stepped closer, his gaze intense. "Do you really understand what you'd be giving up? Your position, your influence, the respect you've earned - these aren't things you can easily regain. You can't just return in six months and expect to reclaim your birthright. The world doesn't pause for anyone, Bas."

"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.
