"Oh that's rich, coming from you." The Alchemist snarls before his mouth makes it impossible to say more. Why does it matter? Because he's the governor. Because there are ascended living in Torchline. Because he fucking asked.

Saliva strings from between the manticore's jaws as he snarls towards the Qilin. How very difficult that must be for you. He growls through their bond.

Striding as close as he might so that their noses nearly touch, the manticore spreads wide his wings, parting his jaws and roaring for all he's worth into the sleek lilac lines of her face. If you win, you can scream at me from your soapbox all you like.
