Karm, I'm leaving this open enough so that Bazi can try and convince her otherwise (if she wants to). I AM SO SAD.

The two girls beat at each other, though neither one seemed to be trying to hurt the other. Fox had the upper hand during the start of the fight, but it seemed the past several days of fighting and travel had worn her down more than she had expected. Eventually, Bazi was on top of her, and as much as Fox struggled to free herself, she could do no more. The girl fell limp, though her lips still curled at the Beta, baring her teeth like little white Tic-tacs. Fox had more or less forgotten about Peregrine at this point, but silently thanked him for not jumping in.

When it was clear that Fox made no move to continue their spar, Bazi allowed her to be freed, and Fox shook her coat, the wound on her back stinging and now covered in dust and dirt. “You take the creek,” she spat, “But don’t come running to me when everybody starts questioning you.” If looks could kill, Bazi would have fallen to her death right then and there.

Still breathing heavily, and covered in bits of saliva and dirt all throughout her coat, Fox rolled her shoulders back and pointed herself toward Peregrine. “Let’s go.” If Bazi did not want her help, if this was how she wished to "lead," then she could explain to the members of Swiftcurrent Creek that she had ruined any chance of getting Magpie and Leaf back home safely.
