Sun Mote Copse when you're off the phone, you wanna get a pizza.

It didn't take Wildfire nearly long enough to answer the call. Fin took in a deep breath the moment she heard approaching footsteps. She couldn't stop her mind from playing back the memory of when she'd broken the news of Peregrine's and Fox's death to her goddaughter. The setting was different, but it felt so similar. She knew what it felt like to break her little girl's heart, and here she was again, about to smash it into smithereens. This was going to be so much worse.

When Fin looked up, she saw Wildfire coming towards her with a tiny little doppleganger peeking out from the trees behind her. The sight was so adorable, she felt her heart breaking even more. Ugh, this sucked. It sucked it sucked it sucked it sucked it sucked. But when Wildfire asked - no getting anything past her, was there... - Fin had no alternative but to just tear the band-aid right off.

"It's..." she said, her voice soft and tremulous. It only then occurred to her that she hadn't at all actually prepared for how to say this, so she hesitated momentarily, scrambling for words while trying simultaneously to keep herself from unraveling. "Tegan and Bat were exploring up near Two Rivers Isle. They were on the ice and it broke. Bat fell through and Tegan..." Fin paused, shutting her eyes as the end of the sentence dropped out of her reach. There were tears pooled there when she opened them again to look at her goddaughter's face, "She's gone, sweetheart."
