Lake Rodney put on a pretty little number, i'm wearing you still

though the urge to let out a loud sob stung at the back of his throat, terance stood upright and gave the female a dirty scowl. she reacted appropriately to his own reaction. but terance didn't want her sympathy, he didn't need her sympathy. he was fine, and she wasn't allowed to think that he was so weak little wimp who missed their sister. lame. "no," he responded with a huff. tail twitching irritably behind him, even more embarrassed. his brows furrowed, and he sucked in a breath.

similarly to how he'd reacted to lyra, terance began backpedalling all of the angsty-teen vibes he was giving off. he echoed her "i-- uhm," before shaking his head and clearing his throat, trying to string together a coherent sentence. "did i interrupt somethin?" he asked, taking a long breath of air in to calm his nerves. better, he decided, no longer wanting to wimp out and cry.
