Grim had been eager if not talkative during their whole trip to the campsite. Laughing and joking with Mageria and discussing idly of memories past. Careless even among the assassins believing that Evin was good on his word. That while they were death dealers, they still retained a sense of dignity.
Now, this new man was making things impossible. Playing mind games in hopes to burn the Captain and twist the visions of those who would serve him. It angered Grim, but he stayed in check. Though he had a few words to mince with this Sean.

Casually he took a step forward, acknowledging his wish to speak. Pulling his helm free, letting the black locks drift lazily about the pauldrons. A hand casually lifting to aid his expression directing it all about them. A dramatic bit of show.

“You’ve grown rather cold toward us friend Wolves. True perhaps you view our arrival to your encampments an encroachment of tradition. Yet, we’ve deigned no fancy thoughts that we are your superiors. You have been our greatest ally, our most bitter enemy. You know it not, but we respect you far more then you realize.
Our pride was swallowed to come and beg for your aid, and in your mercy you’ve since twice heard us. We graciously thank you for all you have done. Newhaven, nay Valcrest is in your debt. But I am troubled…”

The Blade pulled back to where Mageria was, and stood before her. A shield that stood between his Captain and this jackal. The green orbs locked onto Sean with their idle discontent, and they burned with a fury held complacent by will alone.

“If it is battle you want, I’ll be happy to give you a lesson on neutral grounds. Far from where civilians can be endangered. Where the meek can be separated from the strong, and we shall see whom is truly arrogant. Don’t bother with your response, I know you would never dare take it. Even if you did I rather doubt you’d fight honorably, much less alone. That’s what bothers me Alpha.

Here you stand cajoling two Black Knights hiding behind some weird game you play. For being the leader of one of the greatest forces in all the land, you absolutely reek of fear!”
