It’s a good thing he doesn’t like to eat Ancients, at least. Still, her reaction is even better than he was expecting as he offers his little tidbits, his sharp grin widening a little as she begins to gush about it. He isn’t expecting the touch, though, and tension flares for all but a second before Astaroth finds it comfortable, leaning in a little toward her as a soft laugh rumbles from his chest. “I had become quite a force back then.” He admits, humming a note under his breath before he continues. “Much of it has faded away in the slumber, though. It is slowly regaining.” He shrugs the opposite shoulder from her as casually as he can.
As for the mention of the acceptance, Astaroth ruefully shakes his head. “Unfortunately.” He drawls in a flat tone, as if bored by the notion that other Ancients didn’t understand it or wish to be a part of it. “My assumption is that they get too caught up on the feelings and the emotions of it. Even though, as you said, the wolf cares little for the dog’s feelings when they’re hunting.” His dark gaze drops to look at her with a raised brow, enjoying the metaphor for more than one reason, given the fyrhund shift in his blood.
“So, I have promised Danta not to make a scene.” It’s said with full dramatics, before he tuts his tongue a little. “And I have found ways to go about it in the meantime.” The clinics were frequented quite often by the butcher, but never for any impalements or pain.
