So it really wasn't going to be that easy, then.
Ashamin had nurtured some foolish hope. He had believed, faintly but resolutely, that Rikyn's speech would take a more sympathetic turn. But with every word Ashamin lost faith in the youth. He struggled to find a way to reconcile his loyalty to the herd, his own attempts to befriend all within it, with Rikyn's hard-headed ignorance.
Perhaps the Haruspex could teach him, something. But Ashamin knew just by catching the gold boy's expression and the glint in his eye that such a task would be difficult at best. And clearly Rikyn could not be convinced to learn anything through words alone. No, action would be necessary.
The paint finally gathered himself enough to frown at Rikyn. Such continued insult to the herd he so loved was growing to tiresome to respond to, and the haruspex had to force himself not to lash his lightning tipped tail along the cave wall again.
"Just as it seems foolhardy to manipulate them to suit your aching one, boy," he snapped against his better judgement, only just barely managing to contain the disappointed hostility in his tone. Hew as aiming for a quick, witty response, but he knew his emotions ran to high to disguise his true feelings. At his feet, Lochan anxiously shifted about and started pushing towards the entrance. "Perhaps the two of us should spar soon, Rikyn. Unless you can't bring yourself to clash with such a soft-hearted fool."
It was a challenge. It was stooping to Rikyn's ignorant level, and Ashamin knew better. Only he didn't care, not anymore. And as he wandered back to the cave entrance, not wishing to deal with the cold but unable to stay here any longer, he found himself caring too much about Rikyn's reply.
What was such hate worth, anyway?

@Rikyn Ugh, so sorry Bunnie for the wait, this one (and let's face it everything else) fell off the map a bit for me. Perhaps wrap it up soon/nowish? We can thread again soon and we have the fortify meeting, too.
