He was hard to miss, the white phantom slipping into the meeting area after being gone for so long. Peridot jewels slid sideways to gaze for a moment at his father. So the old man had survived, hm? Drashiel was surprised to find himself rather indifferent to the man he had for so long admired. Gaze slipped back to Athena as he waited for the meeting to get started. He supposed it was part of growing older. Heroes all dimmed and changed and he'd grown stronger and more confident in himself over the past seasons. No longer did he need an unattainable ideal to strive for or cling to. He'd had his first taste of power. He held another's life in his hands and he'd greedily swallowed it as his own. What further testiment to power was that? To give out life and death? He still respected Isardis as a fellow warrior but the word father held little meaning any more. Drashiel and Lysis had raised themselves and they were all they ever needed. Of course that didn't mean he held any direct animosity to Isardis. Unlike some of his other siblings it would seem. Siblings that had no idea how lucky they were to at least have a mother that wasn't so repulsed at their existence that she'd fled as soon as they were weaned. Kyarst came in and immediately voiced his discontent. And? here we go? was all Drashiel could think. Not that he could blame the boy. Going from heir to one of the common masses? That certainly couldn't have been fun but the middle of a meeting was no time for this nonsense. Drashiel had things to do and places to be and the sooner this was over the sooner he could get on with his life, hopefully with a new station and new responsibilities. Argent soon arrived and spoke back to the young man. Well, well? was Argent Sight-Stealer alive and kicking as well after all this time? What a treat. And then Kyung? and then Isardis spoke again. And Drashiel stood, his bulky frame shifting dangerously. This was no place for a pissing contest. ?What else ails your mind, child? Please, tell us more "OH PLEASE DON'T." Drashiel interuptted, voice dripping with sarcasm and feigned dismay. "You're all so fucking needy?grow up already and stop waiting for daddy to lick your little asses. The middle of a meeting is no place for a pissing contest. Athena is queen now.. not Sendoa and not Isardis. Give her time to say her peace then we can all gather round and watch you kill each other over a nice piece of caribou." He grinned at the thought. It was true that Glaciem was in dire need of members to form it's base but if all they wanted to do was cause trouble then Dashiel felt it was time to trim the fat? and he was more than happy to do so. To his surprise Roman had appeared. He offered a quick grin at her regardless if their feelings to Isardis now differed. "Speech" |
