"Silence!" Magnus cut his hand through the air, "You forget yourself, son. And if she hit you, I wasn't there to see it. Sorry." The older man had no sympathy whatsoever, for he was starting to seeth with his grief and the misbehavior of most of his entire damned brood. For the moment, he stared the way only a father bear could. "I just lost one son tonight over stupidity and greed, and I am ending it now. Magnus had killed and was killed, and I am beyond SICK with all of this... shit you lot are putting me through! Pearl included! But at least she isn't greedy and complacent like most of the rest of my brood. Look at you... wielding your power to ruin lives. Is that what I have taught you? Or did you learn it from your shrew of a mother?"
