Mormegil, perhaps it is age, perhaps it is the truth hurting, but clearly you forget to whom you speak. I am neither Carcharoth nor any captain but I am no upstart. I know my place and that place is Alpha female.
I note your only defence is to threaten me and that would be mistake. Is the trouble you threaten that I should not emerge from my den next nightfall, victim of you and your associates?
But be assured I am listening most carefully to what you say - else I would not have noticed your double standard..... not that one expects much in the way of morality from wolves ... but in this dangerous situation a little consistency might be helpful....
And Eomer, bear in mind that while Wargism might have been the lupine orientation that dare not speak it's name in times gone by it is now in danger of being the one that does not shut up. At this rate you run the risk of being devoured not for being a warg but for demonstrating too volubly the chips on both your shoulders. In some of the villages we have attacked in the past, we have had easy victories since the inhabitants chose to avail themselves of the opportunities to rid themselves of those they find annoying.
We must not fall into that trap. To devour an innocent is a victory only for the heroes - this is not a time to settle petty grudges.
Many have accused you. Perhaps you are an easy target - but you are not the only one. I fear that we may miss among the noise more silent suspects.
