Her nagging at him drove him nuts but it would certainly be a welcome sight just now. This sullen creature circling above him just didn't sit right with him and hearing the cause for her current state he was surprised to find himself wanting to give her another crab. Hell he would give her ten crabs if she wanted... anything if she would perk up out of this funk and snap at him again.<br/><br/><em>Aye. I felt his passing and the utter wrongness of his end.</em>He spoke of their fallen kin but his voice was not soft with sadness or mourning.<em> But death will come for us all at some point. It is a shame that his cycle ended so soon and in such a manner but there is nothing to be done for it now but to continue on our own journeys.</em>Syn was not an unfeeling being but on this particular issue he had a rather clear stance. It had come to him the moment he had been shoved off the ledge to do or die with his heart racing and his mind scrambling.<br/><br/>Pacing her now, his flight timed to match her circling from below, Syn watched the older male close in and wondered at his sudden appearance given Marcus ad left the nest some time ago.<br/><br/><em>Yes. It is tainted and death is the only option left to it now.</em>He agreed with Amber while keeping an eye on Marcus. He watched the male's display as he dove to enter the conflict only to retreat back to the skies after a single blast. Figuring that was simply Marcus' way of assessing the crabs durability, Syn said nothing until the male spoke again.<br/><br/><em>"Why aren't the two of you helping to kill it?"</em><br/><br/>Red eyes flared at the perceived insult and Syn snorted, his chest puffing out a bit.<em>If it is your prerogative to enter the fray, then do so. You might be older but it is not your place to question what I choose to do or not do.</em>Of those whose whims he might be inclined to obey, Marcus was not one of them. Nevermind that the emerald above him often questioned his actions.<em>It might take time but the crab will fall under the attentions of our kin. The challenge is lost to me.</em>There was a wealth of arrogance to be heard in his tone but this trait was not a new development, Syntrix was both hardheaded and arrogant. His reaction might have been out of line but for some reason the other male set his scales on edge, and really it was something that had been occurring with increasing frequency among his nest mates.
