Jade Fern Grove No one can unring this bell

Taki remained planted and snarling even as the stranger took a position of submission. Before she could really process the female's reaction, Sia snapped at her. At Taki. Affronted, she whipped her head back and glared at her brother. "Don't snap at me. I'm just trying to keep our family safe," Taki said with acid in her voice. She wouldn't normally talk back to Sia, but she wasn't going to just accept a reprimand for something that wasn't her fault. She didn't know this wolf at all. She just heard the sounds of distress and discovered a stranger near the pups. Taki had the feeling that if she had brought some random stranger this close to their nieces and nephews, Sia would have reacted just as she had.  

Still staring daggers at her brother, she heard Tahani's question from behind them followed by Shivali's question and following accusation. Taki agreed with Shiv; why the hell would Sia think it was okay to bring strange wolf near the pups? More importantly, why was he acting like they didn't have a right to be mad about it? As she waited for her brother to explain himself, she remained in her spot next to her older sister and continued to scowl at Sia, still miffed that he had reacted so harshly to her protectiveness.
