Mallin's face reddened at the mention of him being Lysander's brother.
Nicasi could have slapped him for that. Mallin should consider himself lucky to be mentioned in the same breath as Lysander after the way he'd treated him for all these years, but he had the nerve to act like it was an insult?
He tilted his head, inviting Mallin to try his luck. The brat opened his mouth as if to argue some more, but closed it again after taking a good, long look at Nicasi's face.
The other adherents stared at Mallin as if he'd lost his mind. Nicasi sighed, feeling a bit bad that they had to stand there and listen to this crap when they clearly just wanted to be told what to do.
