Leif sighed heavily. "Huh." He grunted, his body still limp against throne, his legs and neck hooked over the arm rests as he lay lopsided. He was silent for a moment, then cleared his throat. "I'm, uh, I'm..."Deepstar almost lost it, she wanted to rake her claws along his ugly face, maybe she’d wipe the smirk off. But then she’d really be banished, hybrid or not.
But now that he’d mentioned it, he was starting to look more and more like the dragon Parrotfish and Hammerhead had described to her. The leader of the attack…
The animus.
It couldn’t be. Why would he be here again? If it even was him.
“Exactly who are you? Do you know who led the attack? And why?” She asked, trying hard to sound calm and unworried but still leaving a hint of anger.
He could feel Fae silently and absolutely LOOSING he ever loving mind. All they'd have to do it kill this dragon if it got out of hand.
Easy.
Leif removed his arm from across his face, squinting at Deepstar. "My name is L-" he chocked on his own tounge, sitting up abruptly to cough.
Fae looked away quickly as Leif gagged and retched, vomit splattering the floor.
"Oh- good heavens," the Prince groaned, panting at tiny coughs racked his shoulders. "Oh, good heavens," he repeated quickly through a sharp exhale.
"Three moons, Lyx," Fae exclaimed, giving her brother a worried look, "are you quite alright?"
"L-" A tremor shook through the IceWing's body and he half gagged again, waiting just a moment, then slowly lifting his head to give Fae a questioning, dangerous look.
Fae cocked her head with mock disgust, then smiled gently at the Prince and turned back to Deepstar. "I apologize! It seems my friend here has eaten too many-"
Leif gripped the sides of the throne, panting, stuttering slightly. "L,l,l,l,l,l..." He tried. "L-" he clamped a talon quickly over his mouth.
Fae groaned. "Stop. Just stop, okay?"
The Prince nodded, slouching back with a worried, yet dangerous look.
"I'm sorry." Fae apologized, turning back to Deepstar yet again. "He jests, of course. He was not with the attacking IceWings." She cleared her throat, rolling her shoulders slightly. "So, tell me more about yourself. Your occupation, perhaps?"
