She laughed, threw her head back and everything, out loud--if Declan was hanging around Etta because of her humor, then Althea couldn't blame him. The girl was mad.

"Look who actually has a spine," Althea said, once she'd calmed down. "You still have to toughen up a bit before you can really hang around Declan. My brothers and I will eat you alive with how weak-willed you are." If Althea had to compare her to something, it would be an extremely wet, extremely limp, noodle. Without any sauce and seasonings. It was really sad. "And, stop calling yourself his friend, I really don't think he refers to you as such." Which wasn't entirely untrue. She really hadn't heard Declan mention her in any sort of context, except maybe in passing. If she had any issue with that, she'd have to take it up with her older brother.
