Ouroboros Spine [Moose Herding Quest?]

S'all good, Alisha. If you're busy, you're busy! <3

He saw Kaname's plea as more of a deference than anything, though the note about Meldresi piqued his interest through his anger. He had been aware that the raven-haired wolf had left them, but it seemed that she had gone somewhere known. That sparked an anger in him that became mere gasoline on an already rolling fire. A fiery anger that guided itself to the smart mouth of the pale creature in front of him. Her snaps near him was enough for him to tear his gaze from Kaname, and as Mordecai brought his gaze to hers, he saw the smoldering ire encased in amber. It seemed she wanted to be the one to determine Sitri's fate, which was something Mordecai did not agree with him. His lips curled back to once more reveal his teeth, daring her to do more than snap at him with her own.

But in time, that silent snarl turned into a sneer unbecoming of him. He saw through her posturing to the unspoken plea. The last thing on his mind was being cooperative with her, as she had made her mind up about where his priorities seemed to lie. “I think you already know the answer to that. Don't think you're in a position to be telling me what to do.” A low growl accompanied his statement; he made his bold stand against her for better or worse. His challenge came in less words than the one she had received before, and in turn he steeled himself for whatever the outcome would turn to be, for better or for worse.
