[ Bordering on a full blown attack as he is, while Nathan might have intended this to come out as a growl, the end result is far more like a wheeze. The dichotomy between how impressive he wants to appear right now and how pathetic he actually looks is really very strong. But the fact of the matter is that her "choices" like that and sharing are both very far from his mind now. Maybe their uncle had a really stiff drink in there after all or he's just lacking oxygen in his brain before what he wheezes out here as both Masaomi is coming back with her drink and the waitress is at the far end of the room with the tray that has their dinners on it - ]

(he couldn't, he knows he couldn't in his mind he knows this is wrong, he knows he sounds just like he did when he pouted and tried to demand that she dump her boyfriends when they were preteens or when he held back from an "i told you so" when Roman did his shit and--)
... and the Alpha in the room has politely set Nariko's drink down in front of her before he stands over Nathan and with a pleasant smile on his face asks - ]
You don't have the right to challenge me.
[ ... And Nathn looks up at him, tries to glare-- ... And he needs to scramble for his inhaler because he's just that lame apparently. ]
