Sun Mote Copse Positively lost me

Well, that answered that. It seemed as though Fig was more comfortable asking through an indirect source than asking Towhee herself. Phox could probably assume why (Fig might be worried about making Towhee feel cornered), but he still thought that was the best way to go about it. If you want to know why, I think she’ll have to answer that.

Oh, you know, I fell down a mountain and got a concussion! Easy as pie! Phox couldn’t help himself, but he put on his serious face in the next breath. But really, it just didn’t feel worth spending energy on it. Whatever her reasons for leaving, I know that she loves me, you, and Figment more than anything else. She and I have been through so much together and apart, and one misstep doesn’t invalidate that.

He paused for a moment, then he realized that what he’d said before was even more solid than before. I think talking with her, even if it’s a little scary, would help you feel less mad about it.
