Aldric stood up to face her, towering at least two feet over her.
"But... Wow! That's a really extensive resume you've got there, King." She continued, chuckling to herself. "I can't imagine all the crap you've seen through your lifetime."
"Do not use sarcasm on me, Emilia," he resounded in a deep tone. It's not very often I find someone with the bravery to act like that towards me. Mia is much stronger than she lets off to be, thought Aldric, having only seen her rough exterior she puts on. "I admire your will to stand up to me, but do not get in the habit of it," he said while glaring into her eyes. "Come with me to the headmaster's office."
He turned to walk towards the office. He noticed her body language and the way she acted, and had become very interested in her. A shapeshifter, huh. I have not had the pleasure. It seems quite useful, Aldric thought. He turned his head towards Emilia to speak. "I know what a house cat is, Mia. I have been around thousands of years longer than you, do not think this knowledge would have escaped me," he said in a demeaning tone. "I do believe that the lion, king, or queen in your case, of the jungle, is much more fitting for a woman of your stature," he stated softening his voice. He had begun to admire her, which was a rare thing for Aldric, the King.
