Dragoncrest Cliffs dope, my crew is ill,

Wait one hot minute.

Wildfire's reaction mirrored what Niamh felt; though she and Tegan had been travelling together, she hadn't exactly pried to see what it was he needed to say. If he'd mentioned it before, she likely hadn't listened- Tegan did talk a lot, after all, and there were parts of their journey where she responded with nods and monosyllabic quips, but had actually turned her listener off to avoid it burning out from overload. Had she known that Quixote and Raven were mates? And that they were having pups? Surely not- by the way her heart reacted with shock. 

She wanted to run, but felt rooted to the spot. She felt Tegan's eyes on her, so she did her best to bring a flitting smile to her face and nod, albeit somewhat vaguely. Wildfire was excited about the news, so she- yet again- stayed silent, allowing Tegan to fill her in with the rest of the information.
