Lake Rodney your fathers been calling

Tit shook his head while he listened, which might've felt like he was burrowing but really he was refusing to see things from Towhee's perspective - being through a lot was no excuse. Then again, his reaction hadn't been the best either. But he was stubborn, and would not budge in his thinking. She was wrong. That was what Titmouse would accept from the interaction.

When Raven queried him for answers, she did it carefully - like he was ready to break, maybe - but Tit wasn't astute enough to notice. He was more than happy to talk about his exploits. Without further prompting he began with, I found Liffey. She was with a guy named Rannoch, and a bunch'a kids.. We lived together a bit, as he explained, he seemed calmer than normal. A bit zoned-out while he thought about things and recalled aloud. And then there was a bear. I... I.. pissed myself and nearly died he could've said - but didn't. I fought it, with Rannoch an' his brothers, and Liffey, and we escaped it.

He'd let that sink in a bit before going further, and pulled free of Raven's dark fur to get a glance at her, eager for a reaction.
