Heron Lake Plateau Let's give this bad boy a test run.

She recognized him in the next instant, but even when that was dawning on her, Screech couldn't help but let his lonely eye dash about in an effort to identify everyone else; he saw Raven move to his sister's side and had to stop himself from grinning ear to ear. In the back he heard a voice - but that was overwhelmed by the bratty tones of some kids, and they didn't earn much more than a sharp glance. There wasn't time to say hello or to welcome anyone and -- wait, why the fuck would he welcome them? They were the enemy as soon as they stepped foot on his land.

Towhee gave her conditions and caveats as if she already owned the place. He felt the fur along the nape of his neck bristle; and that was when he realized, he was looking for Finley and Elwood. Why was Towhee in the lead? He had so many questions but no time to ask them; Niamh was suddenly there beside him, and Redshank too. Together they had to protect what they had found - what they had been working towards. This would only be another obstacle for them to overcome.

The Caldera has fallen? He managed finally, more or less ignoring all the extra garbage his sister was slinging at him (although his jaw set when she had mentioned her death threat). This is our home - ours. We worked hard to find this place and claim it, and if you think you can come up here and threaten us, you have another thing coming. He didn't notice until after he'd spoken that his teeth were bared. This was a pissing match between the two siblings more than anything - and Screech knew he could win one of those. You have two choices: Join us, or go home.

There was more he wanted to say - so many questions, so many resentments he could've aired in that space - but he wanted to look powerful and in control to his friends, and so he kept it short and sweet.
