Heron Lake Plateau plan b

One moment they were content and everything was okay, Camilla thought she might be able to get on to Towhee's good side (if that existed), and the next — well, as soon as the man came bursting on the scene, things unfolded rapidly and she was left looking dumbfounded and confused while the other girl retreated. Camilla didn't see any harm in what was proposed, but then again, she had never considered two women in a relationship like that before. It happened sometimes in the Company but it was usually by order of the men (if they wanted to spice up the moment, typically against the wishes of their wives).

So, here she was. Standing all alone with her pelt growing cooler by the second, Towhee racing off in disgust and this man - whoever he was - acting in every way like the antithesis of what Camilla was accustomed to. He wasn't angry, he wasn't trying to force anything out of her; he was apologizing about something and acting more feminine than she'd ever seen a man behave.

It was all... Really, really weird. So she sank back against the soil and had nothing to say. Her gaze drifted to the path Towhee had run off along, and back to the man, and then to the dirt beneath her paws, all in silence.
