Sleeping Dragon kicked my heart to baltimore

Gannet was confused too when it was brought up Wildfire was mates with the woman. He supposed he'd just never considered before the possibility mateship could be about more than pups.... yet it made a sort of sense too.  Whip asked the question they both were thinking, and he looked at his brother as it was shot down by their mother.  Why was that rude?  It was a question.

He didn't repeat it, not because he was now labeled the 'better behaving one', but because obviously there was no point.  Either they'd answer or they wouldn't, and if they didn't, did Gannet really care?  Nah.  Instead he turned his attention to the large, dark woman who was apparently now mated to his sister.  She cut an imposing figure, and he found himself lowering slightly in posture deferentially, though he continued to stare.
