Sun Mote Copse Whenever you need an alibi for all your wicked schemes

It was neither of those things, it was actually something else entirely.  He seemed hesitant as he spoke, but Fennec was able to pick up on what he said surprisingly quickly.  Either he was worried or he felt stuck, and the latter was something she'd spent a whole lot of time feeling.  She'd also spent a whole lot of time worried about making others feel that way, too much to let it go without making a comment on it.

You worry too much.  She said, again with the bluntness.  But she had a small smile on her face.  You wouldn't like it if I let you saying that stop me from going where I wanted, right? So you should go do... whatever you need to do.  Or even take a vacation.  I dunno.  She'd never known Eljay to leave, but that didn't mean he didn't get bored here.  She'd be absolutely stiff with it if she were him.  It isn't like they need you all the time, and it isn't like I'm never talking to you all again.  We're pretty close.

It was a nicer version than she would have given someone else, but Fennec's mentality was basically 'screw them, find your happiness'.  It made her an interesting choice as far as medics go.  It's pretty stupid, thinking a whole pack can't function without you.  That was meaner.  She didn't intend it to be, but weirdly, she knew how he felt.  Not because she felt that way, but because he sounded an awful lot like Fig right now.
