ROMULUS MALUS - KINGPIN - COTC
Following after Brutei, Romulus found himself face to face with Agrimony in no time. Brutei had already pinned them down, leaving the kingpin to do more than talk. Paws treaded the area and a stern gaze looked around. A growl started to form at the back of the throat as he grew closer to Zuriela's scent. The child did not deserve to suffer, yet she was missing something vital to her... and there it was. The wing itself.
The stench of salt wafted up into his nostrils as he stared down at her remains, letting himself look at the blood that had pooled below. The iridescent butterfly wing had been tainted. Ripped away from it's rightful owner and a child. He could feel the knowledge of the situation being thrown out the window as anger surged inside his mind, uncharacteristic of the logician. To damn a child to unconsciousness and take away what made her special was unforgiveable, especially in the Coalition of the Condemned's peace time and under Romulus' reign. The kingpin would not have it.
Periwinkle eyes could not stand the wing's wicked sight for long before turning to face the others for a moment. Wicked eyes faltered between them before turning away. Instead, he focused down on Agrimony's chiseled features. The lion rounded down on the other with teeth bared and ears pinned back in a display of his despair and anger. He snarled in their face. "Tell me," came his vicious whisper, voice wavering as he spoke. "Where is Inferno now then?" Inferno was not the best source of info to Romulus. She was just like her adoptive mother. Untrustworthy and vicious. For all Romulus knew, they could be covering one another. He appreciated his niece, but she was not his favorite animal and had a track record for leaning into madness.
As Brutei held Agrimony down, a paw raised up to the other's eye and wavered a claw over it, channeling Stryker's passion and Ninazu's ferocity. "Answer me." Romulus the rational would not go without it.
