He raised a brow, the woman's words causing him to tilt his head only slightly, though he kept his demeanor the same. Was she testing him? "I only wish to know who is under my command. Is it wrong to be curious in wanting to know who will be within the same walls as I, so to speak." Treason and betrayal would not be something to tolerate, though he'd keep that part from potential followers. Not everyone was truthful, Sin least of all. He often kept things hidden from the eyes and ears of those around him, save for his own direct family. However, he was sure that there were many who doubted his words and motives. Not that he particularly cared. Whether others hated him or loved him, he could care less about any of that. As long as he commanded, that was all that mattered.
He gazed at her as she explained about her family history. He half listened to her as he gazed at the icicles that clung to the tree behind her. Once in a while, his gaze returned to her but she seemed to avert her gaze from him. How interesting...he wouldn't make a scene about it, however, for it was a sign that she understood and acknowledged who the true alpha here was. "That is...an unfortunate story. I've nothing to say really about my own lineage, except that half of them were perhaps a bunch of yellow bellied traitors and cowards. But your parents as least died, with the honor of fighting. You are not a coward, are you?" The question was direct, and if she wasn't, he'd make her prove it later. Not now, but another day. |
