The Ardent nearly sighed, growing wary of the conversation -- he saw no reason to agitate the Tangler, but he did not wish to invite misguided notions of friendship either.  Regardless, his hazel eyes grew narrowed in irritation.  Petty mockery spoke lowly of maturity.

"Enough. Trading petty insults make fools of you both."

He tilted his head towards his daughter as she spoke, firmly against the idea.  Aurum truly wants this?  I find that hard to believe.  In the end, he held little care for the new luminary -- the lion had left Aine countless nightmares in the wake of 'righteous' fury.  His brows raised briefly, withholding a cold scoff at Elsweyr's defense. "While I am grateful for the care Tanglewood is providing our youth, we all know it is due to familial connection -- Atticus is the son of your healer, after all."

"It would be cruel to dismiss youth whose minds have been torn asunder, no matter where they are from.  I would hardly deem it as proof of friendship." He flicked his ear dismissively, shaking his head -- the same leader offering kindness to Sweeny and Atticus had needless Pittian blood on his paws.  Gael maintained politeness with the luminary for political purposes, not personal interest.

"I can hold an open forum to discuss the matter in more length, but I do not my believe the majority of my clanmates wish for an ambassador.  And I am not interested in forcing upon them an agreement that would leave them uncomfortable."

"If you must learn something of the Pitt, it is that we operate on our own," he concluded at length.  "I will ask that you respect our traditions of solitude.  You may tell Aurum the Pitt will consider the offer as a group, and if our decision changes, I shall send word."
