Brennt furrowed his brows at Sankor's words, staring hard again at the ground, a deep void in those eyes, vacant despite the expression around them, and he tried as best he could to understand the rules that Sankor was painting out for him. It took him a long time to decide what it was that he thought about what the red wolf said, but ultimately he was able to formulate an answer. He had a very strong feeling about Sankor's words.
"That's not fair," he finally said, for the first time really certain of his words. "That's mean to not like someone just because." Just because was a phrase he had learned from Fern when she was flirting with Pallok. Whenever she wanted to do something and he asked her why, but she just wanted to, she'd tell him 'just because.' It seemed to fit here.
"That's not fair, Sankor. That's bad!" He wasn't yelling yet, but his voice had risen. He didn't like that. He'd been attacked just because Cwmfen hadn't liked him? Just because she'd decided not to after she had liked him a few moments earlier? There was no way he could learn that! It would be ten times harder than learning with rules, and he wasn't any good at that to start with! "That's bad," he said again, more quietly, sounding perhaps like he was getting upset in a deeper, more emotional sense.
