The cut of words
None
Jorah sanked deeper into dread and frustration as Julien raised his voice in a manner the whole estate might hear. Blood rushed into his face at the mention of Julien's mother, and he faltered and dropped the glass carafe, which broke as it hit the floor. Blood-black wine spread over the wood and into the corner of the hand-made silk Orlesian carpet amid sharp icebergs of glass shard. Jorah did not flinch as he tread the glass to his son, standing before him looking down into his face and and his eyes.

The bizarre shift in Juliens pupils did not go unnoticed by his father, the movement just another aspect of Julien's rebellious manifesto crashing a wrecking ball through Jorah's sanity. He didn't have time for Julien's nitpicks or whatever in hells name leaked from his eyes - he could figure all that out when Elgar'nan's threat was dealt with - right now he needed Julien to stop wasting his time questioning him and to do what needed to be done. Maker, what he would give for one child he could rely on. But chaos only seemed to pile itself on Jorah as he realized Julien was possessed by something other-worldly.

[color=orange]"What has gotten into you."[/color] he growled dangerously and without question. [color=orange]"You will shut your mouth, get your brother and sister, and GET OUT!" [/color]The room seemed to shake as he roared, whatever he saw flicking in Julien's eyes bringing the words out so savagely.  Julien would leave with his siblings, and he would be blacklisted from the gate. He would have none of this tantrum. The boy was oblivious to what mattered - survival - and Jorah did not know the words to convey this when he had seen his own brother die of poison, and his wife die on the very bed Julien was concieved.

And with these thoughts, he made to grab his son by the front of his shirt, throw him out the door and against the hallway wall, and slam the door shut.
