Sun Mote Copse Coyote ugly.

Now impatience.  She didn’t want to analyze it.  Clearly her mom thought this wasn’t a huge deal and she was probably right… it shouldn’t be.  Fennec didn’t like how out of sorts she was over this.  Even more importantly though… it was only a big deal to her.  Towhee’d gotten her chance over and over and over again.  Maybe thinking she could relate was stupid after all.

It’s fine.  I just have to deal with it.  The implication that any part of this could be right still stung, but Towhee couldn’t fix this, so there was no point in calling out her words.  Maybe Fig was right for once.  This one wasn’t one she should talk about.

Thinking of her brother only made her mood drop lower, plummeting her desire for continued conversation. Not your fault. She finished, breathing out a sigh that took some of the tension with it. It really wasn’t.
