Settling matters (3)

When Aleks came and stood next to Grobak, the Orc bowed his head respectfully and backed away from his master. This was noticed by many among the Horde and they hissed and howled when seeing this. How could Grobak lower his head? He may have only been a temporary chief of the Horde, but he still represented them. This servile behavior only added to their anger.

Some stepped forward and began to shout angrily.

"How could a son of the Steppes bow his head to an outsider!?"

"I told you that trash Grobak was no good!"

"Kill them! Kill them!"

The shouts only grew louder. Aleks composed himself for a moment, slowly wiping some of the dirt off his robes. He hadn't had a moment to spare for his appearance since he last fought and only now realized his disheveled state.

"A leader should be composed and have an appearance worthy of their station."
