Better, even if Cal might have preferred it hadn't gotten that far. He wanted to sigh, but he'd pulled his claws out now, and he couldn't back down from it. Not without damaging the image of the power that had finally cowed Seel. And something said that he'd need it later. If not to keep Seel in line, then to keep someone else in the same place. Something would come around and he'd have to be Tigron again. This place was going to get exhausting fast if he had to keep fighting with Seel for dominance.

He waved a dismissive hand--that was as close as he was going to get to actually accepting the non-apology. He knew better than to expect a real one. At least he was mostly-prepared. Maybe not to deal with him, but at least to have some kind of an idea of what he'd be dealing with.

"Good. I hope you'll remember that in the future."
