Stone Circle so i'll follow the birdsong

He was too cranky to care about authority in the moment; all he wanted to do was tuck into the meal alongside Raleska and Illidan while the adults talked, which Caiaphas wasn't having. He was so cranky that he reacted with innate aggression when she came for him; she snatched the bird away from both he and Illidan and in response he lunged for the tender skin of her nose, snarling in his tiny voice and whipping his tail with agitation.

He'd regret it later, but right then he was hungry, he was tired, he was grouchy, and mom was being a bitch (sorry, mom). For some reason he was singularly targeted in her disciplinary growl; his eyes slid angrily to Illidan as he redirected his frustration to his brother, whose own teeth had touched the bird's flesh but there was no reprimand for him. But he quickly turned it away from Illidan and affixed his wild glare on Svalinn.

It was that white kid's fault. It had to be. That little brat had changed her and he would pay for it. All the while the rest of the goings on were largely ignored, though he did glance over to the two dark wolves who had arrived and his tail gave a feline twitch at the tip.
