Blacktail Deer Plateau Hail rain or sunshine

Their conversation quickly devolved into a confused mess of misunderstanding. Saena practically gawked at Amelie when she replied that Fox had little to do with Peregrine's decision to leave the plateau. How can she even think that, the teen thought bitterly. He'd practically said it, hadn't he?!

"What are you talking about?" she flatly asked in a tone that was somewhat shorter than it probably should have been. Amelie was not only her senior, but also her superior. It wasn't right to lose her temper with superiors, but then, Amelie had just said she had something to do with Peregrine's disappearance and then denied that Fox was part of the equation. It didn't make any sense, and when things didn't make sense, Saena quickly grew flustered.

"I'm pretty sure she came in and royally fucked up my family," Saena said bitterly, "or did you not notice how she tore dad away from all of us without so much as a personal goodbye or invitation to any of us? And how Lasher came back to the plateau even though he loves dad, because she's so important to him now?" She frowned at Amelie, then, tied up in her misinterpretation and sudden misplaced anger that the yearling would even suggest Fox's innocence. It may have been true that Saena was projecting a lot of her problems on the red-furred ex-Alpha, but this problem really was her fault.

"I can't believe you'd even say she's not to blame," she finished coldly.
