Phoenix Maplewood Just makin it worse

Reek need not wait for Tavi's explanation, because soon Esaro was already rattling off his own tale of the events that had befallen him. Typically, Reek did not feel angry when members of his pack fell astray and wound up on his borders injured, but upon hearing what Esaro had done, Reek flared with anger. How careless could he be? His eyes cut into slits and his gaze beat down upon his subordinate, full-bore.

Action, however, seemed unnecessary. Tavi was already upon him and Reek shared in her anger, albeit for different reasons. He did not aim to stop her, nor would he hold her back... Esaro had finally claimed his one way ticket to Reek's shit-list. Reek had made the terms of the arrangement with Sleaping Dragon clear to his pack, everyone else knew except for the insolant boy. Ukko, Saena, Tavi, etc... had all been privied to this knowledge.

As Tavi returned to his side, Reek finally spoke. "They all knew. Everyone but you," he chided harshly. This had been the one thing he had said not to do. Everything above that river was forbidden fruit, and Esaro had just committed origional sin. "I howled when I returned from meeting their leader, if you didn't hear... well, the fault lies with you. Now, I've got a beef to smooth over. Thanks kid." Of course, Esaro could have been away when Reek made his annoucement, but he figured information this vital would have disseminated to him somehow.

Reek shook his head with dissapointment. "You need to face the consquences of your actions. Your injuries will be your penance." Reek would offer nothing more, especially not his sympathy.
