Heron Lake Plateau Back to the Future II

no duh you're coming to visit. a single ear flicked at her comment, and he stared at her sort of plainly until X dropped down at niamh's request. then she spoke to the bird, who seemed to take the command and then take off again with the parcel. tegan stared up at the bird as it flew, his ears flicking upwards as niamh was suddenly asking how he was. he was silent, his gaze remaining on X until the bird was a decent ways off. like he didn't want the bird to hear him, or something. yeah, like a bird is gonna go tattle on him for being sad or something. 

"fine," tegan answered, letting his head and gaze drop back towards her. "i dunno. no ones here anymore." he tried to divert the conversation, his gaze narrowing on the blonde wolf before him. "i'm not mad at you, by the way," he added, nose dipping as he peered down the bridge of it, "for leaving. i don't blame you. i bet it's nice not to have to look at the same plateau every single day."
