He had to admit that it was disappointing that Damien did not snap for the bait. Cicero did not think he need finish his sentence -- she was a good Beta, but not the one to stand by Damien's side, in his view -- but now he was left wondering if Damien understood, or if he had simply expected a different sort of reply.
