Jade Fern Grove sturdied up boulders and loosened the river

It was probably better if this guy wandered far, far away. She wasn't sure where peace was -- she was fairly certain that troublemakers existed everywhere. So what happened if he kept walking and walking and didn't find the quiet lands? What if there were Merricks everywhere? Throw in a few Redshanks for fun and whatever that other guy was that Terance said Moonspear hated. 

But she still watched him. It was worth the little thought experiment of how she'd deal with someone like him -- more for just in case one of her kin she actually cared about had some sort of similar problem. Hopefully they just plain wouldn't. He seemed sort of.. well, floaty wasn't the right word but it was the best she could attach to it from her perspective. If they come, we will defend ourselves. If he manages to keep to himself, then he can stay there. Perhaps his pack will give him enough trouble to keep him busy, because I don't exactly plan on risking mine without cause. She could hope. She had doubts that he could keep up the facade forever. At some point he'd probably crack to the wrong person and the secret would get out. But then what would they do to it?
