Firefly Glen i don't care so why do you

A step back, a reaction to the abrupt change in his demeanor. No longer was he aloof and removed but direct and... agitated? Her brow knit, questions rising in her mind before they wilted away in favor of abject silence, allowing him to finish his piece before she sought to respond. Cutting him off and trying to argue would help no one here. 

I risked myself, yes. Why ignore what was obvious? I am older and a fair bit wiser than the yearlings here, I think. I moved from the mountain to help uphold Osiris' claim and to protect the wolves that follow him. Her run in with the blackbird had solidified such a decision, clearing the thoughts of a quiet life helping to raise whatever children the mountain housed to instead risk life and limb to make sure they would survive. 

The last question Holland posed was more difficult, knowing that Hydra would wage war should one of her wolves be taken as Simmik (possibly) had been. If he had tried to take me, I would have called for help. She realized then, that she skirted the question. But if he succeeded, then I would have fought tooth and nail to survive and return home.
