Privately, Deutschland found it humorous that the Shadow Veil thought Thunderlands were stupid. With that strange animal ranking him a two and Regis a three, along with Soundcheck screaming about how he killed Mingan, and with Fragilepast's real business, they all sounded like a freak show to him.
He turned on Lucian suddenly with a thunderous growl, ears shoved forward and tail bristling as he snarled at his apprentice, displaying his dominance and superior ranking power over Lucian. "You better watch your tongue."
His attention focused now on Fragilepast, and he was feeling shocked and distressed to hear that Mingan had been killed. "Alright, lay off the curse words for a moment, yeah?" It wasn't professional. Even if Fragilepast was describing his own Clanmate, he didn't like to hear it in a professional setting. Apparently, Valo-kas might think otherwise.
"Let Soundcheck stay here and do some community service activities. We won't torture him, but we would like to punish him. I don't want to dissolve a neutrality based on something only one person did, and, judging from your opinion of him, it doesn't seem like you approve of it. We would also like Mingan's body for burial." The German shepherd rolled back his shoulders, making a snapping sound. "Why punish a whole Clan for the wrongdoings of one? It seems those two had beef with each other before they joined our Clans."
