Sun Mote Copse and, as in uffish thought he stood

A strange look passed over Sugar's face when Fen commented about her brothers. Her lips parted, though before she could reply, Fen explained her stance on ghosts. Sugar blinked, her lips twitching faintly now. She supposed that made sense, although at the end of the day, she didn't really believe in things like ghosts.

Anyway, she was more interested in the prior subject. "My brothers," she said, pausing and puffing out a breath, "are jerks." She'd made sure not to badmouth them in front of Finley and felt a small sting of guilt for calling them names. But then she remembered: they deserved it! Neither one of Sugar's male litter mates was particularly nice to her. "Don't tell me they were mean to you too?" she added, the inflection in her voice carrying an edge of disapproval.

It occurred to her that Fen may want to be on her way, especially if she didn't want to disturb Towhee. But Sugar had to know if Crow and Pox were mistreating their visiting relative.
