WHETHER IT WAS OR NOT

WULFRIC looked at Hildred with confusion. After the 'sadistic' comment he made, the other looked like he wanted to shoot him.

He tilted his head and asked, "Why are you looking at me like that?"

Hildred seemed like he was trying very hard to control his temper. So, even though he was smiling, there was still a faint bloodlust emanating from him. "I'm just wondering if our wonderful general and one and only prince of the Empire is just super dense, or just plain stupid."

Wulfric's face crumpled, not liking what the other was trying to say. "How do you expect me to understand when you're being cryptic as hell?"

Hildred only gave him a look as if saying, 'You call that cryptic?'. As if even a child could understand what he just said, and Wulfric was just stupid for not being able to. Which only made him even more annoyed.

"Can you just tell it to me straight, instead of going around in circles?"
