Cue eye roll.
Artaax took a deep breath, steadying his own temper as Blixen lashed out at him. She didn't seem to take being challenged very well, and that often got the pair at odds with each other because Artaax was not one to back down. Not from her, anyway. Those ranked above him - yes, they could tell him what to do all day long and the soldier would just hop right to without question. Those ranked equal to him? Nope. Not if they didn't ask nicely. And especially not if they refused to explain what the hell was going on and expected him to just act anyway. What would he even be able to tell the commander at this point that didn't make the two of them appear hot-tempered, reckless and immature?
He disobeyed for them, really. Artaax is just the best.
Cough.
The hompleia frowned as he looked between the girls, listening as they went back and forth about what to do next. Blixen was deadset on taking Arrille back, and he could only assume it was a matter of pride since he was unaware of the backstory with Caiaphas and Blackfeather. It was frustrating, to say the least, and he was officially over it. Maybe he would go back to heda, but only to tell her that Blixen and Furi were starting pointless fights and plotting even more of them so she would put a stop to it. Even though he had willingly participated in the last, he felt that they were taking it too far now. They had smashed the idiots next door. They had made their point. Why the hell were they putting all this effort into a useless piece of crap like Arrille?
For the record, Artaax didn't even know Arrille's name. You'd be a little lost in my narrative though if I didn't use it ;)
"You're both idiots if you think how we proceed is somehow up to us," Artaax informed them bluntly, and just as casually as though he'd commented on the weather, "Those wolves showed us that they are clearly willing to protect the useless coward, and that makes this issue larger than us. Heda will decide how we proceed, and if we make any other move before she commands it, then you risk putting us in far worse trouble than our neighbors ever could."
So, in the end, his suggestion was to go tell Nomi what happened. Cue Blixen's head exploding.
