It was just as well that the other man did not simper, nor cringe from his punishment. Sirius held little tolerance for fools, and even less for those who whimpered at such easy pain. Itachi's silence was the best response he could have provided to ease the further fury of his Thistle King.
That was not to say Sirius' anger had been subdued - It raged still, bubbling like acid in the man's fierce olive gaze. Slitted pupils, so narrow that they might have been swallowed entirely by the venomous green, sliced over the man's lowered head and lingered on his cast-away eyes. Palms clenched and unclenched from tight fists, the tick beneath his livid gaze leaping. Black lips writhed a moment more over yellowed daggers, before an exhale of breath sounded as a hiss in the tense air. The monarch allowed a single snarl of disgust to part his maw before he turned on heel and stalked away, leaving the only-slightly-disciplined Protege and the severed tail in the mud behind him.
There was much more to be accomplished, this day - He needed to find the Arbiter, and the Arbiter's simpleton son, to see if they too had failed in the task set to them.
