Redhawk Caldera And my cuts have healed with time

Of course Towhee caught wise, she'd have assumed she was full of shit too, the way she'd asked that. Yeah, it's fine. The lie was automatic and rolled out instantly, but she knew at that moment she couldn't be honest about this. She didn't know how to admit to what was going on without revealing how absolutely terrified she was, and she couldn't, even if she knew the fallout would be worse later. Everyone would know eventually, whether she liked it or not, but at least she could keep normal for another little while.

Shoving a lid on the sad and pushing it in the corner for later, Fennec made her decision fairly abruptly. If everything was going to go downhill anyway, did it even matter? I did want to talk about something though. The Regent position. I want it. Fennec delivered with a pretty smooth matter-of-factness. It wasn't up to her to judge any of this and in spite of everything, she believed she deserved it. I know you talked to Fig about something similar, once. So if she had a reason to say no, it had better be a good one.
