The gall of Swordfish. Etienne was allowed to be protective. And Swordfish could do right by Suzu if he would, but frankly he and hia family had a lot to make up for. Even he had left when the bear attacked. Just gone. And that was an absence Suzu never got over.

And he ignored Etienne. As if he were nothing more than anything.

Etienne tutted and spoke, his voice meaner than it had ever been and he should be ashamed, but he was not.

'er cried for days w'en you left dey first time! after dey bear. And den 'er went back to back against our manman and our auntie because you dey fadder. Our family is so angry at 'er because of you! and you waltz in 'ere like you did not'ing wrong! Do better!

Etienne puffed his ruff and he gnashed his teeth. Tears pricking his eyes. You should be ashamed and 'ow dare you act like you did no wrong! You 'urt 'er over and over. You do better! You be better! You is a fadder now, be better Swordfis'

Then without waiting for anything or anyone. He snorted.I tell 'er you be 'ere and you wait.

Then he shook his head and left. Not caring for his outburst. Not caring at all. He would not have Suzu hurt again by this one. And perhaps part of it was his own blame and guilt. But he couldn't see this.

I am so sorry guys. Etienne out. Unless one of the leaders want to stop him for his rudeness.
