The younger wolf's threat made Satu bristle angrily, any idea of trying to make him see reason flying from the impulsive young wolf. "You can try," she spat back, but a moment later the mean lady had pulled back from her unreasonable attack on Anthem and the red-eyed boy had shoved rudely past Satu. "Hey!" she yelped. "I wasn't done with you yet." But personal vendettas would have to wait in favor of family. Satu whirled in place, bounding back to Novella's side just as the mean lady dropped a bombshell of a statement, and she stumbled in shock. Anthem rape someone? She'd never heard a more ridiculous thing. She might not know Anthem quite as well as his siblings, but she certainly knew him well enough to believe him quite incapable of hurting someone. Catching the young red-eyed stranger's growl she spun back to face him. He spoke angry words that for a moment completely went over Satu's head, but a moment later she put two and two together and squeaked in mortified rage. He was talking about castrating poor Anthem! "That's not reasonable at all!" she cried, but whatever further protest she may have made for Anthem's innocence was interrupted by the harsh words of the older male stranger to the red-eyed boy. Ha. Even his own people didn't approve of his strange definition of 'reasonable'. Satu couldn't resist sticking her tongue out at him this time, as Song explained to the strangers about Anthem's peculiarities. Surely now they'd understand just how silly and wrongful their accusations were. Her self-righteous mirth was short-lived however. The dark, authoritative woman spoke again, explaining that the mean one hadn't been attacked, that she'd been injured and in heat when someone - they kept insisting it was Anthem, why couldn't they just accept that they were wrong? - had come upon her and taken her without her being able to stop him. Satu's certainty was shaken by anxiety at that almost-plausible explanation. It wasn't possible, Anthem would never hurt anyone. He was a good man. Wasn't he? Of course he was. Her stomach dropped when Anthem said he had seen the mean lady before. She didn't like the way the conversation was heading, not at all. Her brown ears flattened out to the sides as she glanced uneasily between Song and the strangers. But Anthem was the most-good guy she had ever known. He couldn't be capable of doing something so awful. Could he? If even Anthem could do something like that... Satu started feeling distinctly queasy. "Anthem wouldn't hurt anybody," she insisted again, though her voice quavered. Anthem was family. She wouldn't let these strangers hurt her family. |
