Blacktail Deer Plateau Headlights

She'll get over it someday. She's just throwing a hissy fit.

Blue Willow said her name and, in accordance with her usual melodramatic attitude, she took it to mean she was about to be lectured. Which, naturally, she was. The girl heaved a very loud and obnoxious sigh, rolling her eyes and glaring at the ground. The Alpha female wasn't even listening to her, and just kept justifying the way she'd acted, which was wrong in Saēna's world.

You let her lie and you told her she was right, the indignant child repeated, turning her glare on the Alpha. You're a big fat liar just like her! Any semblance of respect for a leader was gone, but then, she was only nearing her fourth month of age, and couldn't be expected to follow the rules all the time. As far as she was concerned, Blue Willow had brought this on herself.

The straw broke when Blue Willow claimed it wasn't her right to step in. Saēna puffed up like a pissed off cat. After all, it wasn't really about the way she'd been treated by her peers, but rather, about the backlash she'd received for lashing out just once, as if somehow she was less privileged than the others. You don't do it to anyone else because you're unfair! she accused in a scream, lashing her tail. If you can't tell them to stop then you can't tell me to either!

She knew—or believed she did, even if she really didn't—that if the roles had been reversed, and Ty had come along and hit her for being a moron, Blue Willow wouldn't have done a damn thing.
