Redhawk Caldera what is dead may never die

Panther was surprised by the sudden appearance of his nephew, but his instant reaction was to jerk his head back, leaving the boy scrabbling madly at his chest and throat. Ferret didn't pose a threat to the adult, but his needle-like weapons scoring through black fur were a far cry from a lover's massage. Groaning, or grunting, or both, Panther kept his catch out of reach and used a long leg to push the boy down and away. This was certainly going to be a battle, but he determined that the boy would learn a lesson about manners today. And if not that (since it was unlikely), then at the very least he would come to understand the advantage of size.
