Kax listened to the tree elf speak, his eyes almost gleaming his dislike, his fingers gripping the wood of the his seat until the could feel splinters dig into his pale white palm. His face, however, was clear, calm, serene almost, except for his eyes. These gleamed like dark coals, nearly boring a holes through the tree elf that had spoken. His lips were in a thin, red line, and his jaw was clenched tightly. He was barely able to control himself. Him? Marry one of their enemies? That was utterly out of the question, in his eyes at least. Why would his father propose such a thing. But, he would never side against his father in the presence of enemies, to avoid any sort of depiction of weakness. When he opened his mouth, his voice was nearly trembling, at the breaking point, and yet still calm and smooth.<br/><br/>"My father is a wise man. He would not have presented such a decision without wisdom in it, and since he is my elder, I will bow to his greater knowledge,"He turned to his eyes, eye seeming to glow fiercer now,  but he turned to his bride-to-be. The fire faded, but instead, a dreadful cold filled his face then. He took a deep breath, seeming to calm the murderous rage in himself, at least for the moment, and he turned to the tree elf," I accept my part in this agreement, but let it be taken down that I have done so against my will," With that cryptic statement, he went silent, and would not say any more in that room until the meeting was done.
