Glamerspear inhaled sharply and pulled herself together, almost growling in reply. "No, ma'am. If you knew what Lieutenant Kilfeather was capable of, and if you had heard what he'd said that morning about Specialist Sparkshower, my comrade and my friend, and if you knew what he had planned to do with her if we'd agreed to his 'Pas-de-sabots' surrender demands, then you would've done exactly what I did, ma'am. I don't regret grounding him until his next molting one bit, Major General, ma'am. You can court-martial me if you want, ma'am, but I'll fight it every step of the way." By the end of her rant, Glamerspear was panting and her horn was glowing.
