Just a cameo! :)

Astraeus' arrival brought on  the dawn of new era for young prince Thade, the entitled leech that he was. Ever since he laid eyes on the dingy Outsider at his mother's breast, and first made to extract him, he suddenly felt as if the only words being said to him were "no!" and "stop doing that!"

He simply could not understand the place of this stranger in their midst, frustrating as it was, and would overextend himself trying to correct the wrongness of his swiftly dwindling authority. Yet, the Sagtannet prince was foiled at every turn; put down each time he aimed to use his teeth. His attempts to manhandle the interloper were firmly intercepted, and from Thade there was a strong sense of "what do you mean I can't destroy what bothers me?" with each rebuttal made...

At the end of things, he had been dramatically cowed -- both by his own ineffectuality, and by his new, bare-boned acquaintanceship with the concept of consequence. He would become a more discerning wolf for it, but for now he was just exhausted; lying in the corner, sides heaving, and facing the corroded earth wall with a blank stare. Thwarted and thrashed thoroughly enough to lie there for a fortnight.

No amount of whining, growling, huffing, or puffing had gotten him his way. It was a maddening ordeal, and it drove him into a fitful, exhausted sort of sleep that would (fortunately, or unfortunately, depending on the perspective) persist through Phaedra's ordeal with their new "littermate".
