Hushed Willows daisy chain blues

Bridget caught the question and held onto it for after, but she lost it indignantly as Teya began to haltingly tell about herself.  Well that's pretty damn rude,  she said with a little righteous heat.  Not sure how anyone but you could know how complete you are.  

Then she shook her head and laughed.  Well, however you got here, I'm glad you did.  And that you didn't get hurt, falling.  You didn't, did you?  She glanced at her pelt, and legs, with sudden mild concern, but all seemed to be well.  She didn't want to offend her by going too deep in on her family, but she didn't like hearing that her aunt and uncle had belittled her.  Nor did she like the way that Teya averted her gaze when she spoke of it, like it still affected her deeply.  Both things awakened the bear within her, the one who would defend her loved ones with every heartbeat she had.
