The she-wolf really tested his patience by proceeding to rebuke him like a misbehaving child. He ground his teeth together so hard, he felt certain they would all shatter into pieces. Peregrine leered as she patronized him, remaining icily silent, though he mocked her inwardly for her ignorance.

When she finally allowed him to get a word in edgewise, Peregrine grated out, "You don't know me or my life, so I'm going to tell you once: back off." He punctuated this statement with a ruffling of his fur to drive in the point; she didn't need to be trifling with him and his personal business. "Believe me, lady," he added, "I don't want to be in my current situation. Some things in life are just out of your control."

She offered to leave and Peregrine almost took her up on it, yet he pressed his lips together for a moment and eventually said instead, "You should know that Hawkeye doesn't have a problem with the way I talk. Just keep that in mind before you go around dropping names and making threats," he finished pertly.
