Heron Lake Plateau Norupo.

'i'm serious,' she said in a stiffer, sterner tone, earning a scowl from tegan. what the fuck? fuck. tegan knew what the fuck this was. she couldn't be more obvious -- and contrary to popular belief, tegan was not stupid... and he certainly wasn't naive. and then there was a bunch of shit going on around him with the god damn birds and all that. she was stalling. 

as the kids yelled at each other and lunged and missed the god damn bird, tegan took his own shot. as it dodged the pups, it backed towards him, and he grabbed the damn thing between his teeth and threw it to the side with a swing of his head. there was a crunch, or something, but you can decide if the damn thing was dead or not, he didn't turn to look. 

you're fucking leaving, aren't you? he spat, the fur on his shoulders raised, you're leaving and you don't even have the fucking balls to tell me straight up. and now i'm anticipating tegan getting attacked by X. or maybe towhee. idk. but he's said his piece.
