Kass trembled with barely suppressed anger at Katja's words. She didn't have any right to accuse him of being weak! She had no right to show up and ask all these questions. She had no ties to Ebony anymore, none at all, so why would she think she had any sort of say in it? Why should her opinion even matter? "I am not weak. I led Ebony to war against Arcanum," and put everyone in danger doing so, and nearly ruined it all when you hesitated on the plains a traitorous voice whispered in his head, "and we won so what right do you have to call me weak?" He drew himself up taller, taking advantage of the near half-foot extra height he had over her to glare down at the viking. Somehow though he couldn't escape the feeling of being just a mouse glaring at a hunting cat as the distinctly unintimidated woman stared back blandly. "The only time any of us saw you since you left was when you showed up to announce that you had a pack and had taken my adopted siblings prisoner and then you drop them in Ebony for Val to guard them like that would make it better. You are the one that almost dragged Ebony into a war with Pantheon, and you are the reason they're considered traitors for wanting to stay here. So why are you questioning me about what I'm going to do for Ebony?" He was being outrageously rude to her and he knew it, but a wild and frantic feeling of defensiveness fluttered in his chest. He was doing his best, ok? He didn't need her to tell him he sucked at leading, he already knew that. |
