A strange expression passed over Cassius, somewhere dancing along the lines of disgust and apprehension, "So long as the dog does not constantly lick my face, I'm sure we'll get along fine." It should be noted that, no matter the true species, if something resembled a canine, Cassius was like to refer to it as a dog. He could see a hyena and deem it a dog, a wolf, dingo, painted dog, or any other species somewhat related was simply 'dog'. Why? Well, it was simply easy to integrate in conversation.
Back on the topic of something he was more involved in, something he lived every day, dusk to dawn, he snapped back to a more collected demeanor rather than showing his tongue at the thought of a canine companion. His hand again found the back of his neck, his mindless ticks that were sometimes more apparent than not, this was one of those cases. "None of them are my brethren." He scoffed, a little spitefully, "We fight under the same flag and for the same cause, but with different motives. I can never see eye to eye with them. Some of them are forty years my elder and, while I respect them, there is difference in our views. Killing them would be... an unpleasantry, but not as crippling as it should do, I'm afraid." there was a faint shake to his head as he continued, "I know full well that if I were to carry something so drastic out, it would be the downfall of everything. The highborn would use it against us, take our separation and tear us apart." there was a calm that followed his short spiel. A calm of thoughtfulness that he for once gave voice to, "I believe it is the old dreamer in me speaking. That's what she used to say to me," a curt laugh, "'Cassius, you God forsaken dreamer, if you don't step on a trap or take a sword to the heart, it'll be your own aspirations that get you sent to the gallows'."
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬"I ruled the world.
With these hands I shook the heavens to the ground.
I laid the gods to rest.
I held the key to the kingdom.
Lions guarding castle walls.
Hail the king of death.
Then I lost it all
Dead and broken.
My back's against the wall.
Cut me open.
I'm just trying to breathe,
Just trying to figure it out..."
