Ozy rolled his eyes at Porphyria (and if her comment stung more than it should have, at least he wasn't going to show it). "I'd have thought an Irish poet would be able to identify satire." Honestly, the way Chris and Phyri were acting at the moment was more of an argument for the paper's latest decision than anything else. Oz hadn't actually been for it, but he had to admit that they were both being ridiculous in their reactions. Maybe the chief editor of the Prophet had a pair of sisters like this at home, and he was tired of them flying into a blind rage at every little thing they saw in the paper — or worse, a fit of activism. As though him writing to the paper and 'telling them to stop this foolishness' as Christabel had demanded would have any impact whatsoever. The Dempsey women were intelligent, as a rule, but Merlin — even they could be rather naive.
