Kharne's eyes cut to Astrid when she snapped her fingers at him. His eyebrow raised up slowly, mostly in annoyance at the gesture. [color=red]"I'm perfectly calm, Witchblade. As for candle tempers...a single puff of breath can extinguish a candle"[/color] He stated, he probably sounded agitated but that was the natural growl and hiss his voice held. Groaning he turned back towards Claudius who was once again bellowing up a storm about symbols and about controlling an empire. Looking around the throne room he simply shook his head. [color=red]"An empire consisting of a few lieutenants, a small mass of soldiers, and a few higher beings. This is more of a fiefdom than an empire."[/color] He stated, letting the roman looking man cling to his symbols. Shaking his head he started for the door to see what was going on outside this neon white palace.
