Firefly Ravine waiting on the world to change

"No need to be sorry," said Blackbear, who really thought that no one should be sorrier than she was. Tegan hadn't done anything wrong in her eyes, so the sentiment didn't really make sense to her. But that was fine. She got it - he felt awkward and wished it hadn't happened. Even if it was only so that he wouldn't have to be having the conversation. She could fix that, too, though.

Since she'd never heard of Seabreeze and it didn't seem like Tegan cared much about her anyway, Blackbear didn't know how worthwhile it would be to ask after her. Nothing seemed to matter as much these days, but she decided that politeness needed to stick around. "How come? You've already come all this way," she pointed out.
