Reis wasn't sure what he expected the fellow to do with what he'd said. Perhaps blink stupidly, and just stand there. Instead of that though, very deliberately, the Asha had picked up the contract and placed it beside him. Had he offended him by tossing the document like a piece of trash? He opened his mouth to speak again, this time more determined to get his point across. Reis was frowning, but it looked like he was starting to get more angry, and this time it was directed at the Asha.<br/><br/>“No,” Reis argued, and shot up from the couch. He grabbed the Asha's wrist and tugged him forward, not harshly, but giving little room for dispute.<br/><br/>“I will show you a good pet.” His words sounded dark in his brooding, and he brought the Asha along outside, to where the two big cats he'd gotten in the deal were being kept in a fenced off area. Since he'd approached at a clipped pace, the male of the pair reacted defensively, charging the enclosure and making his displeasure clear at the percieved threat. Reis had overstepped, was acting out of the ordinary. Reis dragged the Asha around so that he could see the animal's behavior, and natural instinct.<br/><br/>“This is a good pet, because it knows what it is. How it should act. You've been taught how to be something you are not; should<i>never </i>have become.” Reis finally let go of the creature, aware that he'd started to take his anger out on him whereas he should be taking the issue up with his sellers. He was acting unfair, but processing all this had been a lot for Reis who had self control issues at times, especially in regards to situations he didn't like. He couldn't just call someone to get the creature and take it away. He was in a sense stuck with him, and already he was exhausted at their socialization so far.<br/><br/>“That you think my language is ugly is fine. I will not require you to use it often,” Reis continued, still trying to figure out what to do from here. “I will not put you out, or let you go without the care you need; whatever it is. You do not need to exhaust yourself with trying to do whatever they told you I would expect of you. I expect nothing at all, and it won't change the way I look after you. I think that is fair, but understand that I am in no need of a companion. Most of the animals I have do not talk because I like it that way.” He'd straightened himself, trying not to feel guilty for letting his temper go, and reacting by grabbing the Asha that was so very new to his household. It was normally the last thing he'd ever do, but then again most things couldn't talk back to him.<br/><br/>“I don't know how much of what is true of your care in the letter they sent me. You can go back in and highlight what is, that I should focus on. Have one of the servants write a more extensive list of your requirements if you think you can wrap your head around that task. Pick wherever you'd like to stay. In the home, there are extra rooms. Out here, there are gardens, empty enclosures. I can have something built should nothing suit you. Obviously do not try to get into anything that is locked. This is very important.” Reis went to the door to the cats enclosure, demonstrating that it was chained and bolted. He rattled it. “This means<i>stay out</i>.” He wasn't trying overly hard not to sound condescending. “I take it I shouldn't have to lock you in anywhere, correct? You are not to leave the property. You can go anywhere on the property, but if you take to wondering those privileges with be revoked and I will be forced to lock you up. Do you understand?” By his attitude, Reis didn't think he'd be a runner, and most Asha, at least the ones here, didn't try to get out of their captivity so long as their basic needs were met. Reis was trying to make it simple. Of course, Reis could get into a lot of trouble if the Asha did escape, but this creature was so much more than his other pets. He couldn't simply lock him up like one of his snakes that was perfectly content with eating and hiding for the rest of it's life.<br/><br/>Reis had dealt with high maintenance pets before, but he thought this one would be the most exhausting of all of them.<br/><br/>“The cooks, if you let them know what you'd like, will be able to cook and purchase things to meet your needs. If you have need of anything else, I will see that it is taken care of.” Reis felt like he was being reasonable, even if he lacked enthusiasm.
