Beredin was indignant. "Sire, you would compare me to this human loser? I would sooner expect Kobus to cast such aspersions my way than you."
Kobus struggled to maintain his compusure and not burst out laughing.
Noerdeber took notice of this and subtly nodded at him with approval. "Be careful with your words Beredin, I am leader of all the evolved rabbits. Even you must tread carefully when speaking to me. You come close to the bounds with that utterance."
"Thank you sire." Fortunately, for Beredin's sake, Henry dared to speak then, which took the focus of Noerdeber's ire off Beredin and placed it squarely on himself.
"Spark or no human, you were not asked to soeak at this moment and when the King of the Rabbits is speaking of well of you, you would do well not to speak and rather, guard the spark for more appropriate whens." And to put the exclamation on his displeasure, he slapped Henry down. "Do you understand me human?"
"Ha ha ha! Stupid human loser" Beredin burst out laughing, which most like what henry had just done, was the wrong thing to do.
"Be quiet Beredin! The same to him applies to you." Only Noerdeber didn't slap Beredin physically. He merely shouted and glared at him.
