Sun Mote Copse lots of people like to make believe they're living.

Assuming he was leaving was a leap in itself... it was entirely possible that he was just innocently walking towards the border or something similar.  Fennec's assumption was mostly based on three things.  One - they'd just been summoned, why would he pick now to take a walk?  Two - he'd been acting weird since they got here.  Weirder than normal, and that was saying something.  Three - he hadn't come found her to come along.  He'd bailed before, and the signs were all there.

Good, I hope one takes a shit on your head while it's at it, she cut back, slowing to a stop now that he'd responded and she knew he was within reasonable talking reach.

If you want to act all weird and sulky and whatever, fine, but if you were seriously about to leave without saying anything to me again, that's it.  It was too bad she couldn't really glare at him, but her spiked fur and tone were likely more than enough to show how agitated she was.  I'm done having friends who don't respect me enough to make my own fucking decisions.

God, that wasn't even what she'd wanted to say, it just... came out.  It was true, though.  Bronco, Fig, mom, dad... some had said it was okay, but none of them had wanted her to go the first time.  She'd thought Penn was different, and maybe that was why it hurt so bad now.  She didn't know if she'd have said yes, but fuck him for not even bothering to care.
