No," He said, steadfast in his opinion on the matters at hand. He then rounded on Richter, anger flickering in his eyes that he now hoped Bee hadn't seen. A bit of liquid dripped onto the ground from his fingertips, hissing and burning the grass but otherwise not very harmful. It was something that only happened when the acid mage was pissed.
"
I give the orders around here, kid," Zi hissed, "
So you can go to your room and stay there until I have the patience to speak to you in a more civilized manner," There was no questioning the authority in Zi's voice, nor the anger it carried. It was unusual for him to snap but it was never good when he did.
I don't care what you'd like. I've been doing this for more years than I can count, even when I was alive, so get a grip, kid. Missing the orientation speech isn't an excuse for not knowing my rules; quite simple rules, may I add. I don't care how green you are, this is not being let off easily, He thought bitterly, managing to succeed at the challenging task of keeping his expression calm and voice quiet. He had no intention of harming Richter, but anger drove him to strange behaviors.
