Sun Mote Copse Time after time

Sugar Glider made a good point, but Wraen's phrasing was rather unfortunate given the circumstances.  She might have stayed, but the leader's casual reminder cut her the wrong way.

Wouldn't want that, would we. she muttered bitterly, then turned to go.  I'll be back.  She didn't feel like hunting Eljay down, and honestly would have rather stayed here, but she didn't want to sit and listen to Wraen wishing Sugar well when just a short while ago she'd been going on about how much Fennec wasn't ready.

She felt bad, she really was glad that her friend was going to get to go and learn things and she wasn't upset over that.  It just wasn't fair, and that fact was being pounded into her growing mind at an increasingly alarming rate.  She was almost an adult, chafing at her own limitations; sooner or later she'd either accept them or continue testing them until she went too far.
