"Okay, so. Lynch mob on Hale. A plan? A plan." Teddy hugged Scorpius against him. "Do you want me to go talk to him? See how he is? I even promise to be on my best behavior and not eviscerate him for turning our new friend into an assault victim."
Because something didn't sound right, it sounded almost like Chris had snapped a little or something, but there was a whole lot to it Teddy didn't know, and he needed to know more before he went and eviscerated anyone. For one thing, it was kind of messy.
"I mean it, though. I'll go talk to him a little, if you want to. Sound him out. See if the sanity's still at home or if he's checked out completely."
