The vulpine's ear flicked -- irritated and dismissive at first.  He had no intention to drive fear into his clanmates over him; that was simply tyrannical.  Nor did he suspect Dante could come out of this 'stronger', given his restriction of no medical assistance and general lazy demeanor.  Without the cold front it may be possible, but as it stood, the faerie suspected it'd be a miracle if the hybrid did not fall ill in some fashion.

He turned his gaze to Kian for a moment, inclining his head as the pirate spoke up.  Perhaps this is why he stayed -- to play the neutral diplomat.  The faerie nodded, affirming his cousin's suspicions and offering Atticus a nod as well.  It felt relieving to see the youth well enough to travel and of sound mind.

"As I said, I am willing to consider further discipline if his current punishment is not to your satisfaction," he reiterated coolly, blinking at Arrow's sudden change of attitude.  A sensible alteration, however surprising. "I do not believe either of us want war," he agreed -- both Tanglewood and the Pitt had enough reasons to watch their backs, between the Coalition's shadow and the cold front.  Further bloodshed made no tactical sense for either group, personal grudges not withstanding.

"If an eye for an eye is what you want, then we can arrange that."

The faerie furrowed his brow in careful thought.  In the end, Gael would prefer that the Pitt discipline their own -- the hybrid had disobeyed him and shown a blatant lack of loyalty to his clanmates.  As Ardent it was his responsibility to enforce the Pitt's laws, but a compromise of interest felt reasonable enough; Dante injured a Tangler, a Tangler could injure him in turn. Regardless, the vulpine possessed no intention of a prisoner torture session when the perpetrator in question was actively receiving discipline.

"Is there a rank among your clan that specifies in enforcing law?  I will not hand him over to be a prisoner to beat -- especially when he has already been left to fend for himself during this cold -- but if there is a member of Tanglewood who's duty is this, then perhaps it would satisfy you more to have them inflect the proper injuries?"

"Otherwise; I will maintain my position.  Dante is a Pittian, and we discipline our own -- especially those who forget what loyalty is."
