The tail of Bren's [i]incredibly dangerous[/i] spirit began to swish along the floor at the praise and pats that were being bestowed upon him. Leave it to some girl to turn Ajax into an actual puppy as she seemed so fond of calling him. He was content enough to wait for her to realize his hand was held up and his grin only widened as she stumbled over her words to introduce herself. It was certainly a change of pace from the proper phrasing and posturing he was used to at home. [color=9e0b0f][b]"Sky it is then,"[/b][/color] he let his hand fall back onto Ajax's head. Her rambling was slightly endearing and he let her come to a pause before responding. [color=9e0b0f][b]"I'm from Atlas. My father works for one of the big name companies over there, but he let me get away to come to Beacon. Get out and see the world kind of thing you know."[/b][/color]

He caught some of the other conversations that were going around, a few faunus that seemed to have met up to chat, or scare each other apparently. He went to ask Sky another question, hoping to keep her from slipping into further ramblings when a loud squeal filled the room and caused him to sit up straighter, along with Ajax whose ears perked up intently. He pushed himself to his feet and followed Sky's concerned gaze to the four that were the clear cause of it, and his easy smile now dropped into a tight frown. He was pretty sure he recognized some of them. Some Atlas nobles if he remembered correctly. Great. Just what they needed to deal with, a bunch of self-entitled pricks.

He would've gotten involved on principle to defend the faunus, but as they snatched away Sky's prosthetic, that felt like a definite breaking point. He liked Sky, given he didn't know her very well, and she definitely did not deserve to be treated this way. No one did. He let the faint simmering rage build as he took the few steps forward to stand in front of Sky, breaking Briar's line of sight as he heard the telltale sound of someone beginning to cry. He easily blocked her smaller frame from the view of the four other boys and let out a sharp whistle. Both to get their attention and to bring Ajax to his side. The previously relaxed spirit now swelled in size and now stood higher than his waist, ears pinned back and a low snarl rumbling in his throat.

[color=9e0b0f][b]"Long way from home aren't you Briar. We aren't in Atlas anymore,"[/b][/color] he let a cold grin cross his face and shoved his hands into the pockets of the jacket he still wore, [color=9e0b0f][b]"Need to show off right? Make sure everyone knows who you are so they can fawn over you?"[/b][/color] He shook his head in disapproval, the way his father used to when he messed something up, [color=9e0b0f][b]"Yeah this'll make you the talk of the school that's for sure. Stealing someone's prosthetic, I'm [i]sooo[/i] impressed.[/b][/color] He rocked forward on his toes to lean towards the group, [color=9e0b0f][b]"That's a really good intimidation tactic, making someone smaller, and so clearly your better, cry like that."[/b][/color] The frigid expression hadn't left his face and his posture was still relaxed; like a wolf waiting for a clear moment to strike.

He took a few more steps forward, Ajax prowling slowly behind him. If there was one thing he couldn't stand it was people flaunting their station in order to belittle others. Both his parents had instilled a sense of honor and respect in him that should be shown towards everyone no matter who they might be, clearly this lot missed the memo. He pulled his hands out of his pocket and held one out, palm up, towards Urq. The other was now clenched tightly behind his back, where his spirit stood, [color=9e0b0f][b]"Now if you'd be so kind as to give that back, and maybe find some dignity as you do, we can all get on with our night. I'd hate to be responsible for tearing any of those wonderful silks."[/b][/color]
