"I do not have 'goodness' in my heart." She replied sounding a little baffled that he'd think otherwise. "Though I did come upon you by chance, I am what I am, I would think less of any fae who did not attempt to make a deal in such a situation. I accepted your decision." She left off what was clearly going to be something along the lines of, why are you even bringing it up again? "I did not press when you were uninterested in telling me the details of what happened to you." Just that it was a werewolf, after that he'd clammed up. And she'd left him to it.

She stopped and looked down at him. Was he being petulant because he actually cared to know all the details of her argument or was he simply in a terrible mood? "I think reclaiming territories that will be disputed in the future will require actual conflict. There is absolutely nothing wrong with sending a message to those who may wish to challenge us. I also think if you allow small things to go unpunished, others will pick at the weakness like a scab. Slights of even smaller things must be dealt with decisively. And I think you are being purposely obstinate about this." She can't understand why. He is fae, he should be familiar with the fact that fae do not share information freely, it had ever been this way in the Unseelie court. "Is it my dispute you wish to know about or is there something else you wish to discuss with me."

"It's an expression," said Heiji. Talking to Mab was like talking to a space alien sometimes. Or like someone super, super old who barely knew any slang or anything, which he supposed she was. "Anyhow, clearly we've got different definitions of what's okay and what's not."

"I agree that we're going to have to deal with real conflicts in the future. But I don't think pickin' fights with anyone who looks at us funny is going to do us any favors. I think that makes us look weak, like we can't even handle some little girl mouthin' off without taking the nuclear option.

"Plus, the courts've only just agreed to make a move on the human world. You know how rare it is for them to agree on anything. You think there's gonna be unlimited appetite for takin' on everyone we don't like? I thought that's why we talked to the wolves -- 'cause we don't want to be actively fighting with everyone in London. Plus, this is a whole different era. We can't always just do things the way we used to just because it's the way we've always done it."

At least he was coming out of this conversation with something, though. "I don't think I need to know the particulars, actually. Or rather, I can investigate the rest on my own. I just wanted to know who you are and why you do what ya do. And now I think I understand a little better. So thanks, I guess. I can't promise you that I'll never interfere again, but... I'll try and make more 'suggestions'. That oughtta be good enough, right?"

Even in terms of saying, Mab hasn't got anything particularly kind about her so she's still going to give Heiji a whatever look. "Yes."

Unfortunately Mab is a rule with an iron fist and possibly a whip kind of Lady so there's no way she's going to agree with the weakness thing. She just shakes her head once.

Well, at least he was going to make an effort. "It will have to do." She replied, sounding resigned for the moment. She lifted her head to look at the stars, letting the darkness seep in. Finally she looked back down at him. "I will leave you to your gazing."

"Chin up, yeah? I'll send your associate somethin' nice." Unfortunately, Heiji had very little idea what Grimalkin would like other than maybe mauling a human, but it seemed only right to send him a get-well present.

He returned to his fox form and curled up once more on the sweet-smelling grass.
