Redhawk Caldera Dance, Dance

Thread moved and timeline bumped! :D

Fitz (was it Fitz or Duty? Somehow Fin had trouble calling him "Duty"... giggle...) seemed to be an amiable wolf, and trustworthy. It was for these reasons that she had sought him out as opposed to others in their newly budding pack. Peregrine she knew would be understanding, but he'd also be a dope about it and feel guilty, as what troubled her had been in some obscure way caused by the move to the Caldera. Fox... Well, Fin really liked her. Not in any sort of romantic sense, but in the BFF way. There was friendship between them, Fin was very certain. But she wanted the girl to be her best friend, to adore her like Fin adored her. The only way to manage that was to be as cool as the fiery wolf. And being cool meant not whining about stupid crap. Bitching about it, yes. Whining about actual problems, no.

Finley's remaining close friends had stayed behind at the Plateau when the four of them had left, and therein lied the problem... "Well, I've been feeling kind of like crap about a couple things since we left the Plateau," she explained, frowning slightly as she tried to string together the words, "A couple of packmates I was really close to decided not to come, which I can understand for one because she's really quiet and reserved and I can tell she's not really one who likes change. But the other... He loves adventurous crap like this. I don't get why he wouldn't have wanted to come. I assumed he was just being an ass, but..."

Fin paused, biting her lip for a moment as she struggled again with what to say. "...he hasn't showed up yet." She searched the counselor's face wonderingly. When she'd first realized the olive-eyed wolf wasn't going to be coming with them, she'd been hurt and angry, taking it as a personal rejection. She'd then later decided he was just being a dick and just needed to do some things before he joined them. After all, it just didn't make any sense that he wouldn't follow her. But now, time had passed--too much of it--and she hadn't seen any sign of him. Those initial feelings were creeping in again, and she did not like this feeling that she somehow hadn't been good enough for him, that he didn't want to be around her. That he didn't... whatever...
