Turn to Stone

Her brow furrowed and her eyes shot to the ground at the thought of speaking to Peregrine. Especially about their relationship. "Why would there be more to it? He would have told me everything when we had talked. Or, more him talking at me." She lifted her gaze to Blue Willow. "Do you know anything else? He'd tell you or Atticus if anything was going on, maybe Kisu... but he's closer to you and his brother." Hawkeye hmm'd for a moment, trying to think if there had been anything she'd done or said but drew a blank.

A meek smile showed on her face. Her voice gentle, she said, "I know you aren't perfect, but compared to you, I feel like nothing. Peregrine is always searching for you to talk to, asking you to do this and that. It was like he preferred you to me, and now he does for sure." Tears filled Hawkeye's green orbs and she looked away from Blue Willow in attempt to hide them.
