Heron Lake Plateau have you ever felt the warm embrace

-but you knew- insisted tegan, who still felt pretty betrayed by the whole thing. what did she say? did she ask? tell you? what did you say? you knew how badly i took her almost fucking dying. he wanted to ask so badly. but, what was the fucking point? tegan knew at this point that towhee was too stubborn to argue with... hell, he was too. whatever, tegan just shook his head. if she wasn't gonna go into detail tegan wasn't gonna fuckin push it anymore. whatever. 

she then changed the subject, to something he was eventually expecting to hear. "it was a set up," tegan said with a glowering look, "i came to tell them bat relocated -- cause i figured, ya know, her mom would wanna know. and its kinda my job to maintain relationships, represent, whatever. kiwi intercepted me. called me an errand boy and incompetent." he rolled his shoulders, where the fur had fluffed up just a little bit. 

"i kept my cool for a while, honestly, most pleasant you ever seen me, swear, but i said one, god damn thing..." he grumbled, "and wildfire showed up. so i left. that's when i saw screech -- a territory over -- and i took off after him. i couldn't let him get away, what if it rained by the time i came back? i only tracked him, i didn't get involved with anyone."
