Thud squirmed a bit uncomfortably and it had nothing to do with the vines holding him in place.
Screech at first look puzzled, then it dawned on him what incident the little biter was talking about. He turned over to look at his brother, "You mean to tell me...you spotted them...and then pretended you didn't?! That the whole time afterward when Redclaw was letting into us for our failure, it wasn't needed, you could have spared us all that!".
"They freed me outright, when you two were no where near, what'ya expect me to do?!" Thud asked.
Screech shook his head and turned away, "First off, you know if I'd tried to just leave Redclaw wouldn't have had any of it, and second I suppose my 'accidentally' stepped on tail was funny".
"I didn't say that" Thud muttered. Screech then noticed the other about prying into this little conversation, or at least the sharpteeth who could understand it were.
"So, you guys gonna let us go for my brother's good deed and all or just stand there spying into private conversations?!".
Despite his own shock, Twiz had been translating the bulk of the conversation back to the leafeaters and Cree smirked. "Well when you have it out in the open it's not a private conversation, but then I guess they have little choice" he said to himself and a bit to Pterano and their herd.
