Calano, who had mysteriously vanished sometime during the proceedings, appeared in a blaze of fire and smoke.
His eyes blazed deep purple, as if someone had thrown potassium into an open flame. A lot of potassium. He'd seen something.
"You are not touching anything in this clinic. If you so much as touch even a single match to any bookshelf, I will personally see to it it is the last thing you do. The chickens cannot be helped, but if you burn anything, you will regret it."
He spread his hands over the holographic terminal.
"Now," He said, eyes still ablaze, "How to take back the clinic. Emma," He said, snapping his eyes up to her, "Rain absolute hell on the chickens. Make them pay for what they did to Wizard."
He turned his attention to Bookwyrm and Thaidakar. "You two," He spat, "Take the knife, gang up on Lark. Do whatever you have to. Get him out of my chair!" He shouted.
He then turned his attention to Ranryu, Haly, and everyone else. "Ranryu, Haly, practice shifting. Be a nuisance. No property damage. Everyone else, help however you can."
He punched the terminal again. His eyes genuinely looked like they were about to spit fire.
"We're taking this back. I'm taking on the Chicken King myself. He is mine, and then Lark. Bookwyrm, Thaid, weaken him. Don't kill him. That is my privilege and my privilege alone."
"Now get. Outta here. Rain hell."
