Snippet #1414861

Zhao reached the doors faster than before. He made more haste then he intended and his cool and 'not caring' facial expression wasn't turned on at the moment. He saw that Mouse wasn't on her post yet. Zhao knew this wasn't like Mouse at all and quickly made his way outside.

Mouse wasn't anywhere to be seen. A rather interesting conversation, though, was held between Allister and the prince. He should've known that Allister wasn't just playing around with Mouse. Zhao felt that he had neglected his duty by not helping Mouse himself. It was a punch in the face that the prince, who has more important things to do, has to come to solve this issue. Honestly Zhao didn't want to argue with Allister about Mouse as he and Allister had shared some great moments in the past and if it weren't for his actions, Mouse wouldn't be here nowadays. Zhao sensed the anger growing within his master. This wasn't going good, Allister and the prince seemed more and more hostile against each other. Zhao commanded a guard to make sure the troops are ready in event of a fight. He regained his old cooler self as he walked towards the two in the middle of the castle courtyard.

He soon came close enough to exactly hear the words that were flowing through the air. "What is the girl worth to you, if what I offer is life ever lasting?"
It seemed that Allister was underestimating the prince. To bargain with the prince seemed a rather risky tactic to Zhao. He knew that Allister was indeed a great and powerful necromancer, but he knew how a fight would end. He himself witnessed the greatness of Tier'Zial and was not at all worried. The prince knew what he was doing, but Zhao surely hoped this little argument would end in a handshake rather than a fight.

Zhao moved closer, both hands already touching the grip of his swords. He wouldn't stand by and do nothing, Mouse was his responsibility. Finally he reached the spot close enough to mix himself in the arguing. He stood there staring at Allister in a threatening way. This would make his message and goal clear as water without saying a word.
