Moonspear mechanically make the words come out

The boy felt uncomfortable as he walked - having Da behind normally would not have bothered him, but after the way they had stared at each other he was not sure he wanted to be so close to him right now. Either way, he supposed it was better than having Dakarai walk beside him, for then it would be difficult not to glare at him. It would be easiest if he was behind Da as then he would not have to worry about being watched.

When they arrived at the den, Aries sent a small grin to Cass, wondering what she had been getting up to while he was apparently causing trouble. He shuffled in next to his sister, gazing at their mother with a blank expression once more. Whatever she had to say, he supposed it would have something to do with rules. He hated rules. However, before Aries could make any sort of protest, Dakarai spoke up. The boy was understanding more and more as he grew, and now he could pick out lots of different words and phrases. As his father spoke, Aries felt himself grow more and more restless, getting annoyed over the fact that Da was clearly directing the speech to him, despite the overall statement applying to them both. 

He glared at his father. He knew that he was most likely trying to stop Aries getting hurt, but he didn't need help. He didn't want to show any respect for Hydra. He would have liked at that moment to leave the den, but he knew he would just be put back in, so instead the Sigma turned away sharply, staring instead at the rocky space just behind them. Aries did not want to look at his father, who seemed to not understand the hatred the young boy had for the older girl.
