The silence following Noah's 'one big happy family' comment was thick and heavy.
It sounded like he had said those words in good faith but the hostility was too rough for them to take it, nor when he had not responded appropriately to Damar's words.
He stood there, waiting for them to move aside now that he had said his name, so he could get to me, but Damar didn't budge. He and Fenric just stared at him, assessing him like a threat that hadn't been neutralized yet, and probably how they were going to handle him once he got out of line.
Noah waited for a bit, but then, as he saw nothing was changing, his playful expression vanished. His eyes grew dark, the pupils blown wide as the rut started to eat away at his self-control. He wasn't playing nice anymore.
He was vibrating with the need to move, to relieve himself, his muscles and dick twitching, but Damar remained a solid wall in front of him.
"Move, snake," he demanded with a cold voice but Damar did not flinch.
