As Azaire was pulled into the cultivation room he realized that the floor had a profound array to greatly increase ones cultivation proficiency and each focal point on the array had a very comfy looking sofa, couch, love-seat, and three different beanbags over them. So around 9-10 people could cultivate comfortably and efficiently in the cozy looking room. There was also a MagiVision box with various game consoles hooked up to it and in one corner a (computer) while another corner had a pool table. There was a small fountain off to the side as well that flowed with a mysterious green and refreshing looking water. The place screamed comfort and enjoyment but still clearly have more then perfect cultivation conditions. It was truly amazing.
"Hmmm, this place is amazing. How many people do you normally bring here?"
Azaire was looking toward the multiple cultivation seats curiously. Since there was so many options that means he's used to company right? For some reason this made him a little sad he probably looked silly earlier when he was overacting about coming into his Domain.
"None actually. You're the first, and I just liked having the extra sp-," Jared began clearing up Azaire's misunderstanding immediately but his abrupt pause in conversation was caused by a sudden thick and deadly killing intent that went straight for Azaire so fast that Azaire didn't even have a chance to think as a rippling midnight coat of energy exploded from his body as the wolf-like mane grew out and obsidian black claws slid from his fingers.
With a wild move based on pure instinct Azaire swung swiftly at the direction of the killing intent that came from directly behind him only to hit air as the intent disappeared as quickly as it came. However the image that was left in it's place was even more terrifying as Azaire realized what happened when he saw his master with one arm raised covered in chains of different colored lightning that seemed to try and restrict her but she didn't seem the least bit uncomfortable as she wore a calm smile.
Meanwhile the cause of said chains Jared the Giant prince looked completely the opposite. His expression was stormy and furious and he was shaking with rage. For once his thug-like dangerous looks were an appropriate reflection of his attitude. Azaire still wasn't scared of the man but he was concerned for him and confused about Master Talya's actions.
"As I expected my amazing apprentice you can still surprise me after all this time."
Master Talya made no move to disperse the lightning chains out of politeness but she did look to Jared as if waiting for him to mind his manners and remove them. Jared snorted but slowly dispersed his prism lightning chains after seeing that Master Talya had stopped the attack before he'd even fully realized it happened. This must have been another of her stupid tests!
"What's the meaning of your forceful actions in my Domain Mrs. Talya," Jared demanded unhappily.
"I do apologize but I had something very important to test and it was the only sure way to discover if my theory of my apprentice being capable of sleep cultivation was true or not."
Master Talya spoke in a matter-of-fact tone as she claimed one of the cultivation seats and sat down gesturing to the other two as well as if asking them to take a seat too. This annoyed Jared more but he sat down as well as Azaire only just looked at himself to see the familiar midnight colored fur speckled with silver across his arms. The transformation was already fading as he noticed and he suddenly felt extremely exhausted as he quickly slid into the seat right beside Jared on the love seat where Jared had chosen to sit.
Azaire hadn't even realized he'd subconsciously chose to sit beside Jared despite there being seven other spots to choose from. Azaire suddenly thought back to the look of shock on Jared and Chime's face during that dream before everything else happened and he suddenly realized why they were so shocked as he remembered them telling him it was impossible to cultivate while sleeping.
"....didn't have to use such barbaric means! Could have used other methods....."
"Other methods might've failed....subconsciously it should be impossible so his body might have restrained his cultivation since he "BELIEVED" it shouldn't be there. This could negatively affect his future progress..."
"So you pretend you're going to kill him!"
"If he felt his life in danger his power would respond without him thin-"
"And what if it hadn't!!!"
"I am more then capable of instantly nullifying a fake crisis as you saw "Despite" the rhino incident...."
"Incident? Are you really so callous...."
"BESIDES....you were also here and the owner of this Domain you'd have never allowed him to get hurt here even if I had messed up! I was pissed at myself for allowing him to get hurt too! I watched him grow up and practically raised him! Do you think it's easy for me to see him in danger? If it wouldn't mean he was more vulnerable to the cruel cultivators all over this world I wouldn't have even agree to train him and watch him suffer the cruel world of a cultivator!"
Azaire was shaken from his thoughts as he realized a "conversation" had begun while he was lost into thought that escalated quicker and quicker till Prince Jared and Master Talya were both standing face to face shouting at each other the anger clear on their faces and their bodies trembling with rage. And possibly a strange version of grief? Azaire jumped up immediately placed a hand on each of their shoulders squeezing firmly but gentle.
"That's enough for now. I know you two have your differences but you're both looking out for me. So let's take a step back, calm down, and try to think of the situation form each others perspective. We're all adults here so let's have a calm and rational discussion please."
The two had already began to calm at his touch and with Azaire's soothing words they both relaxed completely all three returning to their respective seats. Everyone settled into a quiet and thoughtful silence for a moment. Jared was the first to break it with his apology.
"I'm sorry Ms. Talya I never considered your familial connection and the feelings you might be going through as both family and his cultivation master."
Jared nodded his head toward Master Talya respectfully and Master Talya returned the nod as well as her own apology.
"I apologize as well. Besides his parents and siblings I'm still not used to him socializing with other non-animal people especially not someone who cultivates. I'm not used to having other people I could consider peers looking after him that I should account too. I'm sorry I will try to warn you in the future when I need him to experience dangerous situations like this but please keep in mind that won't always be possible and I must be in charge of his training and capable of fulfilling it as I will."
Jared nodded as if accepting Master Talya's words, before pulling the exhausted Azaire who seemed nearly half-asleep now into his chest as he placed one arm around the little beast's shoulder.
"Well, now that the excitement is over and I've confirmed my theory it seems that your cultivation will have to be adjusted once again....."
