cont from here w/@lellarps ft sebastian & ambrose
Ambrose's eyes harden as he hears that mocking tone, so foreign on the lips of his lover. His usually so deep and dulcet voice this twisted, venomous thing. His rage was brewing, she knew exactly the buttons to press to enflame him, but reacting in anger would not help. It would only give her what she wanted, him as the weapon to hurt Sebastian. This was the wedge that she sought to drive between them, in the hopes that the warlocks fury at her would unleash power he could not control and the only real victim, would be the dragon. However what she did not know, was that Ambrose was very rarely an irrational, emotional person. He was as cold and calculating as the next twisted, ancient magic user and he would not be so easily played by a heinous bitch wearing his boyfriend.
He flinches at the slap, seeing Sebastian's cheek instantly redden and the threat was a potent one. He had to protect Sebastian, from himself and from his own magic. A tall order when magic was so destructive. He could control it, however, he just had to control himself.
Slowly he moves, gaze remaining fixed on Sebastian as his leg shifts and he slips from being on his knees, to being on one knee. Slowly pulling up the other leg as he takes a kneeling, begging stance in front of him. He had to get to the egg, which meant leaving this battle, to fight another day. "You have shown great tactical ability, Daegal" he says softly, head slightly lowered. "Your magic is impressive, but this deception... inspired" he whispers the last word as if it mystified him with awe. "Not only to bound and control a dragon, but to fool me for so long" he trails off with a small shake of his head, but all the while, he was biding his time. Taking that short moment of relative peace to do something quite specific.
"I cannot allow you to hurt Sebastian, so... I yield" his voice remains soft as he slowly lifts up his hands, palms up, in defeat.
It is then that he senses it, what he had been looking for. The magic tether between his lover, and the witch who entrapped him. Magic that lead straight back to her. He knew where she was.
Slowly the corner of his lips lift as his eyes dart up to Sebastian's again. A sharp look that says wait for me.
