The Sunspire and his apologies come early

Upon learning Screech's name (which he really needed to address with Rannoch and Liffey - he didn't want people to lose respect for him because of a silly name like Tit) the dark wolf looked aghast, protested a bit, but eventually departed. As the proverbial dust settled around Terrance's departure Rannoch turned his confusion upon the boy, who had taken on a dumbfounded "what the hell?" kind of expression.

Whatever. Good riddance. Except, he couldn't say that.

Who was that guy? The boy murmured, but then shook his head and looked at Rannoch, eager to impart his side of the story - something no Moonspear wolf had ever allowed. I told you, I was looking for you and Liffey. I found that guy instead, told him I was family... He seemed pretty peeved to begin with. Maybe he didn't trust me? He shrugged. Are all your friends so grouchy? Tit -- er, Screech, asked rather pointedly, not missing the fact that Rannoch and his friends had all come from the same deplorable place - Moonspear.

The boy's eyes lit up then. Was he --- is he Hydra's brother?
