Don't worry about it, Rangerjohn. You didn't offend me. Atlas offended Darthallys. One of the main racial traits I saw in the Sibeccai is pride. They're downright arrogant, but they all know they'd be nothing more that pack animals was it not for the Giants. When Atlas called Darthallys a 'dog', even in a very roundabout way, it set him off by hammering that point in.
I view the Sibeccai as accept fairly insecure as a people, Darthallys especially. To Darthallys ears, Atlas' jest might as well have been, 'Forgive him. We didn't fully civilize the Sibeccai when we had the chance.'
Now, I know that Darthallys had just made a self depreciating jest about being a dog, but believe me, it's different when people make fun of themselves. The line is much harder to cross.
Now, all this said, please, Don't worry about it. I'm using all this to give the pup a chance for some growth. I think it's working out pretty well and I'm glad I was about to seperate Darthallys off while I do this so I don't hold up the game with my Melodrama.
