His mother was fairly pissed. He could feel it seething off of her in waves like a rolling tide. Icy blue eyes roved over those gathered, unimportant to him as they were all mere pawns in his presence, not one of them he could call a friend. Eyes shifted briefly to stare at her from his peripheral view as she spoke, demoting the very one he had just finished thinking was unworthy of Monarch. Inky lips lifted just the slightest, pleased that his mother had taken the decision to not give another chance. He would wait until she was finished speaking, gaze falling upon the one he assumed was the Novocaine she spoke of. He was fairly young, though Sora would teach him what he could, and guide him along and teach him more as he himself learned more as well. He didn't want to be a disappointment to his mother, and with this new charge perhaps he would stop dwelling on the abandonment he felt. Although it would still prickle his mind, he would not allow it to get in the way of his duties...and his life. "I will be more then happy to take him...you won't be disappointed." He responded, gaze remaining fixed on the other male.
"Speech"
NOTE: Valentine has a female striped skunk companion named Lefty. Unless stated otherwise assume she's present.
