Well, my part Yolhu's action I did not intent as insult or ego/power trip. But it's correct that Yolhu commands the actual full time military troops/police, so would fit if Ashen controls the more civilian side of military + Umari's personal guards.<br/><br/>Either way there was reason for his actions and Ashen would know IC that Yolhu is mute and thus he communes most of time with hand signals which most everyone in manse knows it (it's based on military based hand signs albeit Yolhu's had refined it to be more expressive by mixing some old realm symbols into it). So if he wanted tell Ashen to sheathe his 'weapon' he would had signaled it. So his physical visual action to sheathe it down was meant as clear physical gesture, most likely intended for outsiders (to see it) for somereason.<br/><br/>Of course Yolhu intented different message than insult Ashen or display of 'power/superiority' over him. But you can ask IC from him what the display was all about as usually Yolhu is fairly polite nor he would cross borders of influence between military branches. But ranking wise they both are equal so there is no reason even display superiority over one or another.
