The Sunspire pumped up kids

terance was not violent by nature-- it just wasn't how he was raised. but there was too much testosterone and too many hormones floating in the air for him to remain completely civil. his last remaining shred of decency held him grounded-- and it only remained because he didn't want seabreeze to see him so agitated or... hostile? was that what he was being? his expression hardened. "it doesn't matter what i think of her-- it's not the time, were you born yesterday? she needs to get somewhere safe and secluded--" his attention turned to seabreeze, "--liffey, liffey will help, i can take you to her." 

and then titmouse started... was he shooting his shot? now was not the time? and not that terance actually had a thing for her, because he didn't-- he barely knew her and that would be ridiculous. and she just broke up with some guy she seemed pretty in love with-- and lyra? it just didn't seem like good timing. but he didn't need to be thinking about this, not right now. 

seabreeze held his gaze-- it was frightened, and terance had never felt so horrible in his whole life. was this his fault? was he scaring her. "i'm so sorry, seabreeze," he said after her, giving her the opportunity to leave-- because he didn't trust himself if he followed her, and certainly didn't trust titmouse to not follow her. when she started off, he turned back to the one-eyed asshat standing before him, moving to block his path should he try to follow him. "what is wrong with you? leave her alone," he said, the fur along his shoulders bristling.
