Phantom Hollow You've been counting all the days off of your calendar for weeks now

Whether it was modesty with which his cousin spoke his answer Damien didn't know, but he wasn't satisfied with 'passable'. The Melonii were an elite organization, and just because he was the son of a higher tier member of the pack didn't mean he had a free pass to the ranks. Damien needed confirmation, proof that Malcanthet was an asset and not a hindrance.

He eyed @Megara, hoping for a reaction and trying to read her opinion on her son's alleged skills. But he knew that what he wanted he would only get from the man himself. Damien had been leading the newcomer towards the common grounds slowly, but the advance was halted suddenly when Malcanthet spoke again. Damien wasn't one to beat around the bushes, he was a confrontational man and his family wasn't exempt from his methods. Then what do you excel at? he asked straight to his cousin's face, making it clear he required a straight and honest answer. I won't have a mediocre diplomat if you can be put to better use elsewhere.
