Punk's suggestion was not overly aggressive, but the tone of an elder lecturing a junior was certainly not pleasant to hear. Although, in theory, "Whisper of Destruction," who had reached the Morningstar tier, was indeed likely to be an "elder" to Rodati, the "Quench Bite," who was merely at the ordinary Legendary tier, such notions as elders, juniors, seniors, and successors simply did not work in this world where the strong ruled.
Especially since, in the eyes of the Elven Royal Court's rulers, Punk was still a "suspected invader" and even "one who showed disrespect to the gods"... How could such an "arrogant" accusation possibly make the obviously hot-tempered female Druid swallow her anger?
