Brokering deals

Kylar would go against the young boy's hard gaze, but Rune's words would lift Amarant's heart. He just wished it had lifted Colten's. Rune had gave Amarant the chance to visit the family he always knew, even though he was basically betraying them by staying here with Kylar.

"I better get a say in this!"

He would hiss at his grandfather, showing more of a side of him he didn't even know. He didn't want Colten to go home with Rune because he hated him. He actually wanted to make up with him. Though he was the problem in this situation. He made his brother hurt. He believed Colten would be happier at home with the rest of their family that loved them.

Amarant would snap his gaze back to his brother as he spoke, demanding that he stay too. And before Amarant could process what to do or say, Colten would look at the rest of the crowd and then turn away. Amarant would stand, maw partially opened unable to say anything else. And then his head would face forward again, though this time his chin was pulled in to his chest with his eyes closed. And his teeth would bear out from his jowls. He would deal with this later.
