She blinked after he spoke and lowered her crown, he merely gazed at her with eyes of chilling silver filled with sadness. Shadow let her collect herself, finally she straightened up and looked him in the eye. Though he managed a small smile when she spoke once again, "I have no interest in taking Scimitar as a partner," he tilted his head, but his eyes sparked with mirth, even if it was faint, it was an improvement. "he will not be playing happy families with me, if that's what you are suggesting.". "No," he said softly. "I was just joking."
Shadow glanced at the sky and although it was still dark, he knew it wouldn't be long before daylight came and he wasn't going to let himself be captured by the Swiftcurrent wolves. "I'm going to stay here for a week or so, to discuss with Scimitar and I won't have this wound festering. Do you have any herbs you can name that might help, I'm not the best healer around." he attempted a smile but it was brief. Aemilia was a good healer, the best out of his brothers for although Aku taught them about healing, it was mostly fighting they excelled at.
"So you'll talk to Scimitar about the visiting? It would be easier to persuade him if you talked to him first, but I don't doubt he'll still want to rip a chunk out of me when I ask for an audience with him. Can't blame him though." he knew he had been an annoying, insubordinate, disrespectful, arrogant, harsh, brutal bastard and he knew it was his fault. His goal was to be like that, but perhaps not so extreme. Shadow knew what he had to do this time, and he would do anything to get it.
