Noctisardor Bypass i could go off the deep end

exit!

the problem was, naturally, that both he and his siblings lacked the respect necessary to make a proper proposal. buzzard would scrape and bow in front of a wolf about the same time they acquiesced to a proper bath, so this was doomed to failure from the very beginning. if they had any sense, they'd have known that, but that was condor's burden to bear, at least this particular failure didn't come with any price.

he hardly needed his sibling's advice advice to know when a situation was going south. particularly this situation. oh, they'd surely come back here soon. condor might have been more elegant than his sibling was, when it came to these things – and really, who wasn't? – but that didn't mean he didn't enjoy a little revenge now and then. it made everything all the sweeter.

no need to reply, but he did enjoy having the last word – though it was hardly a triumph with this big brute. it was like speaking to a rock. "you only had to ask, darling," condor said, offering him a winning smile before he turned to follow after his sibling, sparing only a quick twitch of an ear for the snap that echoed in the brush. he had no interest in entangling himself in anything further, for the moment.
