Redhawk Caldera 800 cash, that's a hell of a deal!

Even if she had parsed the situation correctly—and make no mistake, Fiadh definitely had not—she wouldn't have been prepared for Towhee's boiling temper. Tegan had done something Very Bad, which was a given for their litter, but none of them had ever been shouted at like that before. Even Fiadh's ears snapped back to her head at the sound of Towhee's booming voice.

It was funny when she just thought Tegan was going to be grounded, but now she feared that Towhee might just kill him. Mash him up and feed him to X. Tegan was dumb and smelly but she loved him.

As the Alpha's ire swung around to Easy, however, Fiadh was forced to turn her focus to the outsider. She was striking in her own way, but Easy was also large and therefore, like Towhee, kind of butch. Fiadh didn't really want to fight her brother's ogre girlfriend friend, but because her loyalty was ultimately to her family, and because Towhee ranked much higher than Tegan, Fiadh shot her brother a pitying look before stepping purposefully toward Easy with a muttered warning: "better get going or I'll have to bite you."

And she gave Easy just enough time to heed that warning, and Towhee's command, before she lurched forward with jaws clapping together, whether at the Morningside wolf or the space she'd wisely vacated (assuming she did so).
