Once again, the blood suckers proved completely worthless but he should have anticipated it given the history tales. Vampires tended to be incredibly selfish and vain, caring far more about their own personal legacies than doing anything to assist the world around them. The shifters had to act as protectors of the world, which only enhanced their importance.

Finishing off his glass of wine, he waved a hand off. "You and your kind are not wise enough for something this intricate and long lasting. Such little patience for the many years you all have."

With that he stood up, smoothing down his vest. "I do not have to warn you but be on guard. It will seek those with the darkest energies to fuel it stronger. That is your kind. Not much will protect you." The blood of a shifter would but he would not confess to such a thing of offer even with the tales of it being immeasurable pleasure. He never believed such tales and how good could a vampire be when they lacked a pulse, heat or breath?

Tony just watched him move, a faint smile playing over his face. "You know, you're pretty patronizing for someone who doesn't actually have all the answers. Your highness." He could appreciate a certain amount of self-assurance, but still.

Between one heartbeat and the next, he was suddenly standing directly in front of the young king without seeming to have moved at all, that same smile still in place. "Let's keep in mind that this war has been prolonged on both sides, shall we? You don't have to like me, but we are here for a purpose."

He waited just a moment longer, then made a show of taking a step back.

The quick movements shouldn't have surprised him but for some reason it startled him a little. A little more brazen than most tended to be with him because of his royal status. Arms crossed behind his back to keep himself in check, he gave a shake of his head. "The vampires started the conflict with stealing our rightful territories and attacking while not provoked." The legends foretold plenty about the origins and the vampires certainty had other ideas. "Shifters were drained and left discarded like trash."

His fingers curled into his palms, nails elongated but only for a moment. "And it's your majesty for a king or a queen. Your highness is for a prince or princess." A little nit picky but the vampire kept pushing at him and he disliked it fiercely. "If you prove yourself useful with this ancient evil, I'll change my tune."

If anything, Tony's smile just widened. Just enough to show a hint of fang, something he was obviously aware of. "Sure thing, your furriness. And let's remember that you rightful territories have been disputed since back before your grandfather figured out what to do with his dick. Tell yourself whatever you like, but nothing here is as black and white as you want it to be."

That said, he put his hands up, making a show of looking harmless. "You didn't have to come to this little meeting. And something tells me that something more than just your dire predictions brought you. So frankly, you can take your tune and shove it. Your majesty."

Never before in his life had he disliked someone more than he did with the vampire. He really shouldn't have let the fanged one get to him but the vampire seemed to have a talent for it. Why would they send him for such an important mission with how on edge things were? It really didn't add up and he loathed having missing information.

"Oh, well then, please tell me why else I came," he responded with a raise of an eyebrow. He really should have walked away and yet he stayed in place. Nails slowly turning back to normal, snarl a little less prominent.

"Because you can grandstand all you want about your territory, but you don't want this war to continue any more than I do." It was probably more blunt than the situation called for, but the teasing light that had been in Tony's eyes throughout the entire conversation had finally faded. He could, on occasion, be serious.

"It's stupid and it's wasteful and apparently we have bigger things to be worried about." Just the faintest quirk of a smile at that, but Tony's eyes were still serious. "Am I wrong?"

[forwakanda]

The distaste only heightened the longer they were in one another's presence but he tried to keep a tighter lock on the reactions he wanted to give. The vampires would only use it against them and he did not want to give them any other tools to wield. At the moment, the shifters held the upperhand and it meant everything. Perhaps, they did possess a lot of pride.

"Be that as it may, do you have any true plans to make that happen or are you only able to state the obvious?" He questioned with a shake of his head. There were probably nicer ways to go about this but he didn't really have it in him to attempt any of them.

"Wow," he drawled after a moment. "I can really see why they sent you to a peace talk. You're so diplomatic." Tony took another couple of slow steps backward, something almost chiding in his eyes. "Lucky for you, I happen to be extremely good at it. So come find me when you actually want to talk instead of being patronizing."

And just because he couldn't help himself, Tony flashed him a smirk. "I need to go find something to drink. If you'll excuse me."
