Azarias had to stop himself from laughing. He would never do anything 'stupid', it just wasn't in his nature, but for that matter, neither was playing nice. He allowed Allandra to help him up, holding himself back from appearing completely fine. It would not do to appear perfectly fine after having received such a beating from his dear older brother turned violent monster. He kept his face blank as he was forced face to face with the Allandra. He arched a brow at her when she said he would tell her what was going on. Did she really think she held any sway over him? But he had to play into her good books if he wanted his own plans to work.<br/><br/>The young prince felt her hand touch him, and because he had been watching her so intently, he could tell that she had felt something, something dark.<br/><br/>"Well my dear, it just so happens that brother dearest has taken a turn for the worst. Power hungry and violent he had no concerns with lashing out at me." Here Azarias paused, shaking his head slightly as though remembering the past.<br/><br/>"I'm afraid not everyone learns from the past." He knew that Allandra knew about the Black Dragons and what they had done, and he counted on this knowledge to sway her thoughts in the direction he wanted. If he could convince her that the eldest prince was going straight down the road already walked, painting him in a dark enough light that he would be the real threat here, it would make it just a little easier for him.<br/><br/>He listened to her orders that they had to move, laughing softly to himself as she pushed him ahead of her.<br/><br/>"No need to push." He said to Allandra, walking ahead of her. "I'm more intelligent then the average, not some barbarian like you may think." Azarias knew what some thought of his kind, brutes, more brawn then brains, the whole barbarian tribe bit. He knew he was an exception, and he prided himself on that. He was crossing a lot of lines with this little stunt, but being insulted in such a way was where he drew the line.
