When Maddox turned to look at Miranda directly, he shot his little sister a wink and put a finger up to his lip as if to tell her that it was their little secret, completely forgetting that Jamie was probably watching them. He hadn't done it but once or twice after Jamie did something to upset him, to be fair...
He repressed a sigh; trying to keep the mood light and cheerful. They didn't need more added to the occasion, did they? Miranda had nearly died on them, and now Jamie was coming down with something. Moses didn't think that the addition of idle threats on the family would be something particularly good to bring up at that moment. He probably should tell Maddox, get it out there as a warning so he'll keep safe. But telling him would probably blow over terribly and...Moses didn't want to mess with all of that. At least not at that exact moment. Maybe he could tell the eldest Dodderidge later that afternoon, after they unified and banished the younger siblings to their respective rooms for soup and sleep.
A quick smirk covered his face. "Miranda always was sneaky about that sort of thing," he murmured softly, now waiting to gauge her reaction to that comment.
