Fennec didn't remember ever being as angry as she was after her encounter with @Niamh.  Her secret lessons with @Eljay... and the resulting skill that she was beginning to learn... had given her a confidence that she didn't know she had.  She'd always been able to pretend that she could do things, but this wasn't that.  This was something real.  She'd been proud enough to call her dad out, proud enough to confront Niamh... and it still didn't matter.

It would never matter what she did.  They would always just see her as the blind girl, unable to help with anything.  It didn't matter that @Towhee always encouraged her, that @Figment and @Phox rarely ever made her feel small.  In that moment, she felt crushed, smothered under the assumptions that Niamh had shoved onto her.

It was a testament to this that suddenly, her anger at Penn disappeared.  He'd abandoned her, but he'd been right about it.  She should have gone with, because obviously no one here needed her.  No one here would ever need her.  All they ever did was try to do everything for her because apparently she was too stupid, too fucking blind, to do anything right.  Fuck all of them.

Practically spitting, Fennec's stalking took her to the border, where she paced at the scent line.  She knew she couldn't leave, but right now, she just needed the fantasy of disappearing and letting them all wonder where she went.
