Translation:

skraich, skraik: screech, a high pitched squeal, cry or scream.

Now my little flower there is no need to screech on so.

The Predator Stun.

I am not a fan of little girls who piercingly screech in delight or distress at every little thing that excites them.

Or use it to cow their parents.

Isn’t it a noise that should be reserved to stun dangerous predators?

Rather than squandered in idle excitement?
