Otter Creek Falling to pieces

She smiled, not faulting Junior for almost making a joke about Pied dying. She hadn't known her mother and had no particular feelings about it. "Her vag probably split all the way up," she finished with a grin. It wasn't really that funny but she was oddly desensitized and, having never had much contact with her only present biological parent, she had no reason to feel bad about jokes made in poor taste. She wasn't sad about it, even if she should have been. Besides, tasteless jokes ran in the family.

The ground was becoming less steady now as they followed the creek further toward the mountains. She lowered her nose to sniff along its edge before looking back at Junior. The larger juvie was musing about their parents, something that Saēna could fully understand. The sadness from before began to seep back into the edges of her consciousness, but she shoved it away for another time. She was beginning to enjoy her time away from home. The last thing she wanted to do was think more about Peregrine and his dumb bitch.

Still, she needed to supply an answer, and so she started with, "Kisu was a shit dad anyway. You know, I didn't even know he was my real dad for a long time, 'cause he was never around. Then he told me he was, and then he just left." Some dad, she found herself thinking for probably the umpteenth time since he'd left. "And mum was never really happy. She always seemed angry." They hadn't been close, her and Hawkeye, but she'd always felt a sort of unease when it came to her parents together. The swarthy ex-Alpha had never seemed comfortable.

"But dad's a huge hypocrite," she said with a frown. "I mean, you said he wasn't happy when you left, but then he goes and just leaves everyone, just like that. Y'know, he didn't even say good bye. He just called everyone together and told them he was leaving and didn't have time for anyone." She'd left too, she remembered, and that made her ears wilt a little, but she didn't bring it up. She was as much a hypocrite as he was... but at least she'd come back, a small voice told her.

"Willow and Dante looked pissed."
