He doesn’t expect the purple mare to be thrilled to see him, not with whatever her parents have undoubtedly been spewing in her young ears, so he is content with her somewhat nervous response and doesn’t reply except to continue to offer her the slow, patient smile of greeting he already was wearing. Trekori’s nervous response is a different story, and the tone of his voice makes Brennen take a second look at the situation, turning his full attention to the young stallion as he launches into an explanation.
His first response is a surge of frustration, of annoyance, but he tamps down on it hard before anything can escape his careful mask against feelings, because he knows when he forces himself to wait a breath and take a second look at the situation that to react the way he might have in the moment would be a mistake. They hadn’t been allies with Tephra six months ago, though Brennen still would have preferred the Brothers not to mess with Krone’s family in their self-imposed exile; and Kori is remarkably young, despite all he has already done for the Brotherhood.
He’s almost ready with a more reasonable response, his first strong temper simmered to a mildly censorious glance, when The shrieks of birds above herald the purple stallion’s arrival, as he shoulders his way into their group and launches into his own tirade. Brennen would never have unleashed his temper on a Brother, much less one as earnest and honest as Trekori, but Klaudius will receive no such kid-glove treatment. Almost as soon as he has opened his mouth, Brennen’s ears are pinned flat to his neck and his words are sharp and cold.
”That ‘boy’ is already twice the man you will ever be, Klaudius, and he’s apologized for acting like a lovesick child when he was still a child. What’s your excuse for your behavior?” he isn’t sure of Kori’s motives but he’s guessing, after all he isn’t stupid either. “You’re no longer welcome in Ischia, Klaudius. And since Karat was stolen before we were allied in Tephra, she won’t be going with you.” he reaches into the cold feeling of the ice-magics and shifts to ready himself for motion, because his soul might be Tundra-cold but his temper is running hot and he’d like nothing more than to attack Kladius at this moment. It is, as they say, the straw that broke the camel’s back. “I will allow you this chance to leave unharmed, out of respect for the alliance Warrick and I have agreed to. I will escort Karat home when she is ready to go, after the children have a chance to say their farewells. You will leave now, or I will make you leave.”
He doesn’t say anything else negative about Trekori in front of Klaudius besides addressing him in a juvenile manner such as he has never done before - that is the extent of his scolding. Klaudius who is not a brother has no right to witness any discipline handled within the Brotherhood, no any right to dictate such.
Brennen is more than ready to make good on his threat of violence.
@[Neo], @[Sid] sorry Brennen just wasn’t going to let that kind of thing go in my head /shrugs/
