"Soren... shut up. Go duke it out with Sable if you've got a problem. I'm too old for this bullshit, especially from you." Miniver takes his brother's hand. He'd hold on as long as Teague welcomed it. But he's done panicking. There's a place inside himself that steels him when things go this wrong -- Henn would be able to feel it, like a gear shift and a sudden relative numbness from him. It might be new to the kids, and even to his brother, but Pickles would have seen him like this before. It's a hardness that's difficult to drive him to, but once he's there, he won't come out of it until things stop happening. And when he does, it probably won't be anywhere Soren or Henn can see it.
