"Don't be silly." Raaz snorted. "You did what you had to protect your family. Physical violence isn't the only violence."
"Agreed." Orion nodded. "Had they badmouthed my Little Flower, I would have sicced Jirni at them."
"That's right, dear." She nodded, realizing his words too late. "Wait a minute. What am I? A hunting dog?"
"Please. Hunting dogs are cute pets compared to you." Orion shrugged while Quylla and Friya laughed.
"And I would have fed them to Quylla!" Morok said before Jirni could react.
"Hmgh drrh yh?" Quylla tried to protest, but her mouth full of food produced only unintelligible words.
"Don't worry, dear. I would drench them with gravy sauce first." Morok misunderstood her question and replied with confidence.
Quylla found herself drooling and thinking about what plant folk would taste like, which scared her enough to stop being angry at her husband.
'This is not me. It's because of the twins that I'm so hungry.' She told herself until she believed it.
