The entire conversation - at least from the initial descent to this final breaking between the two of them - must have carried across the whole world. It would not be surprising if this spelled the end of the Keep as a unified front — with the attack on Harlyn and Tambourine being the starting point, this final nail in the proverbial coffin would at the very least spell an end to Octavia's purest relationship. Or maybe not, maybe Stark was strong enough to see through her posturing, and maybe one day soon Tavi would wake up and be alright in the head, and not feel so absolutely powerless about the world around her. But it was unlikely.

She didn't hear anything else that Stark had to say; she didn't think of anything aside from getting away, because the conversation had burned through her, and the woman's fight-or-flight response was taking hold. While her old self had chosen flight when things got rough, this one had stuck around long enough to put up a fight, but in the end Tavi was reduced to doing what she always did: she fled, stomping a path away from the Crook and towards the willows. She didn't stop to say anything, did not even raise her head from its downcast position, and marched until the borders passed beneath her paws.

Some instinct told her, find Tambourine, but her body did no obey. Instead she set out from the Keep and headed north, maybe to confront the beast that now dominated her every obsessive, out-of-control mind: Reek Redtail.
