-sighs at self-
Lids instinctively shut to ward fragile hues from the blow as his Superior’s hand quickly leaped to connect with his blonde face. The controlled power from the impact pushed the Lykoi’s face away, locks of darker blonde falling veiling his face with shadows. There had been no warning, but the young male showed no visual appearance of surprise at the physical response he had just been given. In fact, he didn’t seem to respond at all. With the slight shift in weight as the Revlis man’s hand had struck, fresh pain had tickled along his injured calf. It gave the Protégé peace of mind to wallow with the pain for a short moment, before eyes belatedly opened to two, narrowed slits of the fresh hues of blood.
Failure is not a viable result. This was true, and Itachi had failed his task. Sirius had dealt out a lash of punishment fitting a subordinate’s failure. There was one flaw in the Boss’ move, however. And it was major and vibrant. Itachi wasn’t anyone’s servant. Free will was what formed every single action in his life, and while Sirius might have thought the Lykoi had gone to Freetown because he had demanded him to, Itachi had gone because he had accepted the task and found it intriguing enough to complete. The invisible handprint on his blonde cheek was pulsing together with a controlled heart, reminding him of this bold, physical hit he had been dealt with every heartbeat.
Poison and danger was always visible in the sickly green of Sirius’ eyes. The two men were not the same, though they could both be fiercely dangerous if they wanted to be. Itachi’s darkness ran deep under skin and flesh, and knew better than to lurk behind the sunset shades in his eyes. The blood of the dragon cursed through his veins, hot like fire, but too well hidden. He said nothing. Eyes did not rise to cling to the earthen colours of Salsola’s proclaimed King. While others could have crawled and begged for forgiveness, Itachi offered numb silence only.
