Louis's rage was evident, further amplified by Legion's constant laughter. He stared at Aiden, Kira, and Aren, who was still focused on his food. He couldn't allow his rage to show. He was a high ranking member of the Floating Palace, an organization known for being calm, respected, and powerful. Their very presence commanded authority.
He took a deep breath, relaxed his clenched fists, and slowly let it out, calming himself. Then he forced a smile onto his face and looked at them.
"Allowing yourself to miss a grand opportunity because of emotions is a stupid move," he said. "Refusing the Floating Palace because your friends' feelings were hurt is a very, very stupid move," Louis added.
Aren suddenly paused his eating and looked at Louis with a confused expression. "Hurt feelings? Bro, you didn't hurt my feelings," Aren said, genuinely sounding like he didn't understand what Louis was talking about.
"Oh boy, he's going for your throat," Legion said with a grin.
