Bramblepoint devotion and desire

Unlike Rannoch and Redshank's first scuffle with insubordiance, the turquoise-eyed man felt more in control with the situation at hand. In their previous episode, Rannoch had been thrown off by both  the other's language and flash of defiance. But this time? Rannoch felt prepared, especially now that Cypress was at his side. His dark-furred brethern did not go unnoticed and instead he was flashed a quick apprecative look before Rannoch's attention shifted back to Redshank.

Keeping up his millitant front, Rannoch squared his shoulders forward as he was met with yelling. Everything about the leader's posture was demanding, yet, his voice was surprisingly cool-temepted. "Remember what we talked about before, Redshank?" Rannoch reminded, his voice steady as he stared down the child.
