-Tegan,- Towhee signed, getting directly to the point, -I didn't realize. I didn't know when or how she'd tell you. This is on Bat, not me.- She could've said more—about how Bat had asked her, point blank, how Tegan had reacted to her supposed death and how she had blatantly sugarcoated the truth—but she made herself leave it there. She wasn't to blame for knowing when he hadn't, that wasn't her fault or responsibility. She wasn't party to Bat's communication skills or lack thereof.

She wanted to disagree with his next bit, especially because the look on his face cut her up a little, but Towhee finally addressed the elephant in the room. -Why didn't you come here and let us know what was going on? Why did you cuss out Kiwi?- Towhee absolutely wanted to hear Tegan's side of the story.
