Under the light of a 1000 colors

It was rather ridiculous, him being upset with her for not informing him the instant she knew.  It wasn't as though he'd made himself very available.  Yet this crazy notion was what his mind latched onto... She hadn't trusted him enough to let him know, to confide this.  Did he think that he would throw her out?!

"Running?  Is that how you would handle this?"  Why the heck he was so upset he didn't know.  Maybe it was because he had counted her a close friend, and to be so blindsided by this showed a clear lack of communication. And a large part of it was likely due to his own guilt at not noticing the trouble she was in.  He wasn't really assessing this at the moment though.  "Do you really think that's the answer?". To hear that she would take flight was troubling, and he fought to keep his voice even.

"We're family Osprey.  And no matter what stupid moves we may make, family sticks together."  Harsh, and likely completely  out of line, but he could not believe that she would have done such a thing, having never experienced the circumstances that had led to her mistake.
