Ravensblood Forest Get off my back

Pied was right: Peregrine had no patience for the logistics of the situation, nor any ability to see the it from his brother's point of view in any capacity.

She urged him to go back to the plateau and start a new life there. Arguments sprang to his lips, yet his tongue wouldn't work again. He didn't want to live there, he didn't want to start over and he didn't want Pied to come visit him. All he wanted to do was go back to Moonlight Meadow, convince Tyrannus he posed no threat (although this wasn't entirely true) and return to the den he shared with Osprey. His heart ached and throbbed with miserable anguish.

He was being honest right now, though that would probably change once the sting of the situation lessened somewhat. "This situation fucking blows."
