omg sorry mattias is such an angry pissbaby??!!!
The leviathan's lips raised to match the sprite's sour expression and a deep growl emanated from the depths of his chest — back off. The giant bristled, making himself appear even larger as the bonfire that was his temper was kindled by her words. His ears pinned forward and his tail whipped against his hocks as he spoke, Perhaps if the mice would be aware of the elephants, they wouldn't get stepped on.
Unlike the chocolate girl, the goliath had a temper that was brooding and cold. His words were calculated, intentional, and cruel. Even though he knew he was at fault (and if blamed, would accept it), he was not about to let the fae be so fiery towards him; a packmate, a stranger without consequence.
Additionally, the beast thought nothing of individuals who used their rank to assault those technically underneath them and refused to accept rank as an excuse for poor temperament. Frankly, he didn't give a damn unless she was his alpha, which she was most certainly not. I am a beast,
he responded, deciding at the moment he would not divulge his name — she did not deserve it. Honestly, he was so fucking big how did she miss him?
He calmed himself, choking back biting words to try to assuage her instead, reminding himself that this was a packmate. He did not want to fight, he did not want to be blamed for yet another girl's hurt feelings. But they call me Mattias.
He rumbles contentedly, proud of his kin for making acquaintences in the Vale. The titan wonders if the chocolate girl knew that she was gone yet, that he was the one who caused her departure. He hoped she did; he did not want to have to deal with her pesky annoyance a second time.
I think you haven't been given the chance.
For someone so brash it was incredibly fair, and he hoped the fae would not forsake it because he did not want to dislike her... he just did.
He ponders her last statement carefully, unable to give a yes or no answer. He did not dislike Chusi, but was unsure of how much he could consider someone who would not be around very often a friend. She was kind. I enjoy her company.
Ha. He could not pinpoint exactly when she softened towards him, but her comment caught him off guard. Nice? Never in his life had anyone come close to thinking he was any semblance of the word nice, let alone feeling the need to vocalize it. He let out a low hum as his smile broadened.
Much like Genie, Mattias had hardened his heart towards Chusi. He had quite liked her, but soon she would be gone and he would have no part in yet another heartache. He breathes in, reaching back in his memory to answer her question. He didn't know the exact amount of time since he had arrived in Northstar Vale, didn't know how many days had passed since he had fought with his sister, didn't know really how many days it had been since he had seen Chusi.
The answer to all of them was Not long,
and he offered it with a shrug. How about you? Where do you come from?
