Before the fight could get any worse, Roxanna quickly stepped between them. "Don't fight, don't fight," she said gently. "All of you are handsome in your own way, so don't compare your looks like that."
Then she turned to Azul, her tone soft but firm. "And Azul… it's really not nice to insult someone's appearance. I'm disappointed in you."
Disappointed…
Azul felt as if he had been struck by lightning in the middle of the day after hearing that one word.
He was the first one to ever hear that word from his wife, and it felt worse than getting punched.
[Hmm… in the evil Roxanna's memories, beastmen really do love comparing their looks,] Roxanna thought.
In those memories, she had even seen beastmen get into fights because one of them felt insulted, simply because his "size" was smaller than someone else's. Even in the cave, Calen had felt the need to tell her that he was slightly bigger than Azul.
