Hoshor Plains Do I make you cringe?

His delight was short lived, and he froze at his mate's question, a shit whispered under his breath. He hadn't actually considered how it would feel if Alarian caught him. He knew he would be mad, but he hadn't considered anything beyond that. He should have back tracked, tried to apologize or explain himself (if that was even possible) but he was more volatile than normal lately. It didn't help that Alarian had changed; he openly disagreed with him at every turn, and Midar was beginning to wonder if his husband even still loved him. He certainly didn't see love on his face now, and it stoked the rage inside him. He seemed to care more about that stupid kid than he did about him, and maybe that was the real reason for all of this. Until now, he had been staring at his mate blankly, but anger slowly twisted his expression and flatly, he answered: Taking care of a problem.
