The newly arrived spirit beasts frowned upon noticing Orion's deliberate action of hovering above them. Though it was embarrassing, like the others, they said nothing, though the hostility in their eyes was poorly concealed.
"Tsk! Can't you see we're already in the middle of a negotiation? Why don't you wait your turn instead of trying to butt in?" chided the blood-red exoskeleton-covered scorpion.
"If you're trying to take advantage of the situation, I advise you not to act foolishly until we're finished."
Despite his irritation, the scorpion didn't rise to challenge Orion directly. Doing so would only force Orion to ascend even further, thereby emphasising his position of dominance.
Since they couldn't do anything about such a humiliating dynamic, they chose to avoid escalating it.
