Was that really the only option they saw? Gannet couldn't understand their diehard need to pin her death on Screech. Yes, his brother had run; but so would most sane wolves at the border of enemy lands, in the presence of one of their dead members.
Would the outcome have been different if he hadn't? Would they have stopped to hear his side? Gannet held a lot of doubt in this; they reminded him of his parents. And had anyone laid a finger on himself or Whip, or even been in the wrong place at the wrong time to assume suspicion, there wound have been no quarter.
He wasn't about to ask them to change that. He just wished they'd stop asking him to change his own mind.
"Sometimes we run," he said quietly, not looking to make her angry, but not about to play into it either. There was a line in opinion, drawn in the sand; them on one side, he on the other. He didn't see this as a cause for problem, since Screech was long gone and the situation done. He hoped eventually they might see it the same.

Gannet's face and body are open books; you are more than welcome to distinctly notice any emotion written in his posts.
