A Response To The Challenge

[Mhairi Ankaa]

Mhairi smirks at his swift reply, but declines to phone the man. If she did she'd end up yelling and she didn't feel like doing that, espessilly with the way his post script had her grinding her teeth.

What an insufferable ass

Alexander Brown, who calls himself King and Sun's Tongue both.

My position is clear if you cared to read my words or see passed yourself in our interactions.

But because of your small mind, I'll explain. You've sworn that you're not a Traitor to the Lost, but you've left yourself open to becoming one with the ending of your Pledge. I will not allow that possibly to exist within my Freehold.

Since you've declined to to decide upon terms, and have asked me for them. Death or Banishment.

Mhairi Ankaa,
Autumnal Queen and Freehold Director.

[Mhairi Ankaa]

The next isn't as much of a surprise as Brown probably thinks it is. Mhairi's just surprised he didn't decide to call her anyway.

Watch your words.

she taps out quick. Using things like that in a friking text message. And he thought he was smart.

You don't get to make deals.

comes a few seconds after the first one.

We fight, upon my terms. Or you leave. Those you're options.

she wonders if now he'll call to yell at her next.

[Mhairi Ankaa]

She wanted to throttle him

Watch your fucking words

comes out as soon as she sees 'pledge' again.

Its not that you wanted to say the words to Sasha or Ingrid and not me.

and it really wasn't

You don't have that option anymore.

Mhairi smiles at the screen and wonders if this proof will be real, or fabricated. She knows the darkling could probably pull something like that off.

With how hard you wriggle out of lifelong commitments, and that you're trying to wiggle out of this now. I don't think I'm ever going to trust you.

Not wanting to Pledge, and only turning to them when he didn't want to Hedge Duel....it made her skin crawl. Mhairi truly doubted that she'll ever come to trust Brown.

If you're not going to agree to the fight, then pack you bags and leave before sundown

[Mhairi Ankaa]

She doubted his intelligence before, now she knew he didn't have any.

This is the third time one conversation I am going to tell to you to watch your fucking words

that in itself was cause for her to do something to make the darkling learn this lesson.

I'm sure you've dealt with this all on your lonesome?

this arrogant idiot probably thought that an affirmative would get him brownie points.

It is not. I've already said I didn't like you wiggling out of things. This is you trying to wiggle. You're not getting away with it this time. We'll fight, and yes, anyone who wants to watch can. This isn't going to be a some scheme in the dark, but a proper duel
