Valley of Kings Writing Prompts

   Bora has experienced his fair share of rudeness in his life, which is really unsurprising, given the sheer length of it, and his role as a mentor to the disciples of the gods. And he's grown accustomed to such incidents, enough that, generally, he can handle it well. Throw an insult his way, and you might get some rolled eyes out of him. Ignore him when he's speaking to you in favor of goofing off, and you might get told to knock it off and pay attention, and he may even cuff you a bit (lightly, of course, but still) if you're being particularly insolent, if you're old enough that you should know better and have started taking things seriously - If you're here, you're in training to take up the role of a god someday in the future, and while he can give the children some slack, you can't just treat that so lackadaisically! But generally, he's not one to snap back or let it get to him.
   Still, there are things that get under his skin. Comments about his age, he can brush off with ease, but should you tie in the fact that he's a smilodon, or make comments about the fate of his people... well, even if you're not necessarily meaning it with hostility, he may get a bit huffy and cold with you. He takes it to the best of his ability, and you'd be hard pressed to get him to actually lash out in retaliation, but he's likely to keep his distance from you until he cools down. Just to be safe.
