"Nope. I am not his disciple." said Angus.
"Not cousin's disciple?" asked Horton confusedly.
"Yes." replied Angus shortly.
"Cousin?" asked Horton to Balrug.
"Ehem.. Angus can you just give this old dwarf some face." said Balrug.
"Hmm?? Oiii… Balrug, up till now I could tolerate your shamelessness because of our long friendship. Are you sure you want to push my button? I am sure you are not stupid enough to the point of that." asked Angus solemnly.
"Tch… Fine. But I am still your teacher regarding your physical strength." retorted Balrug.
"Sure. However, I will never acknowledge you as my teacher." argued Angus.
Angus and Balrug's relationship is more like a friendship than a teacher and disciple. The two of them learn from each other rather than in a one-way teaching relationship.
