Tegan blustered out a reply, but Fiadh only gave him a winning smile—she wasn't trying to hurt him, after all, she just meant to joke once at his expense since he'd made such a weird comment.

It was kind of mean-spirited of the Blackthorn kids to be so anti-Screech that they would attempt to chase him from the pack entirely. Fiadh herself felt a twinge of uncertainty over the whole, but it was quickly squashed. Screech had abandoned their pack before, fought with their father, the calmest man in the entire world, and threatened their baby siblings. There was no way he could be allowed to stay long enough to do something else to the Redhawk and Blackthorn families.
