Severus couldn’t help it. When Lillith broke into an indignant stream of shouting, he burst into laughter, lifting a paw to cover his face. He hadn’t meant to insult the girl, not really. Okay, maybe he had meant to, but his mother had often warned him of the scorn of a female. He stood, shaking his grey mix of a pelt out before moving over to where the red girl had dropped herself next to Ayasha. In his mouth he carried the dagger the woman had wanted back, and he placed it at her feet. His black nose dipped to the ground, pushing it over towards the alabaster biped.
In a rare moment of grace, the prince managed to ignore the comment about him running from the bear and the venomous glare the girl was putting on him. He already had a bear after him that day, he didn’t exactly need to be ganged up on by a couple of females either. He was stronger than them both, of course, and would have no issue warding them off, but It wasn’t honourable. He lifted his head, thinking himself very much the chivalrous gentlemen when he was more than likely being a chauvinist prick.
Where did you learn knife play like that? He asked, cocking his head to the side and perking his ears for her answer. He hadn’t yet taken to training with weapons, and had only wrestled around in secui form briefly with his brother. Weapons meant power, and knowledge was even more powerful than that. The prince craved both, and as he waited for Ayasha to answer him, he wondered if she’d offer to teach him. He could learn by himself, of course, because he didn’t need anyone, but it wouldn’t hurt for him to watch how she worked and then just naturally do better.
