Sequoia Coast rationalization isn't just a river in egypt

Artaax merely blinked at Blixen when she snapped at him. He apparently wasn't as vindictive as his sister and her girlfriend because a wolf just up and leaving Drageda still didn't seem to warrant the energy they were wasting right now. He had long ago decided that those that joined Drageda's ranks weren't worth shit for the first few months of their tenure there. Too many had come and gone for him to bother with them. That was why he'd paid little attention even to Furi until more recently, and why he didn't care at all that Prince was missing. If he were to insist on hunting down each and every worthless wolf that had up and left Drageda, he would basically have been MIA since the time he was three months old. Blixen really needed to learn to reel her anger issues in..

...as well as her tendency to give commands to someone who had no appreciation for them.

Artaax grew still as his sister told him to go to Thur, at once tuning out the rest of the conversation. His eyes narrowed slightly and his voice grew deep and quiet as he responded just after Furi finished speaking. "You do not command me, Blixen," he said darkly, his irritation clear in his tone. She had done the same before the wolves of Grimnismal and he had held his tongue given the situation. But now, when it was just the three of them, he would not stand for her ordering him around when they were equals. He would not be disrespected like this.
