Seems unfair...

So some of you were surprised with Neris' saying "This is me going easy on him". I can definitely understand why that is, seeing as he's been quite gentle and caring towards his brothers so far.

However, we do operate in a culture where there are not as many female as males, so they are very precious in a way. Add to that the fact that they are newly mated, and you have a dangerously protective cocktail fueled by hormones and instincts. I am not saying murder would have happened, but definitely slight maiming.
