Blacktail Deer Plateau I think I need help

as his conditions are set, the seer appears on the scene and proclaims she will pay the child's lifedebt. a low warning growl rumbles in his chest. it was bold of her and he does not accept based on the sole fact that she does not know if she is staying to not. as acolyte she has no right to make such claims, as far as ingram cares to see it. you are acolyte, he snaps, guard hairs bristling. and you, ash paw are mage. not a leader. do not presume to tell me what to do.

he would squash insubordination. cruelly. coldly.

the lifedebt will be paid by the child when she is well enough. it might not've been so had his patience, his authority not been tested, not been ignored. but he is feeling cruel and like he needs to remind them why he is the dreadfather.

the next one of you to speak so brazenly to me, as if we are equals, to ignore my authority will be met with my teeth. this is your only warning. it was not an idle, empty threat: on the promise of violence he would make good. fussing at the womenfolk only continues to ignite his growing ire. come, deathbringer. he commands, gesturing for him to follow.

he would confer on how the lifedebt could be paid in the meantime.
