Duskfire Glacier Ain't nothin but a goodbye town

"And here I figured you'd be glad to hear it. Isn't that what you wanted after all?"

Danica's sarcastic opener didn't exactly set the scene for the flowery speech that Bazi had put together (and practiced, when the pain in her leg made her think she was about to die). She didn't know what she had been expecting, frankly. For Danica to give her an easy ride, and accept that gayness was just one of those things that it was OK to freak out about for a while? Yes, she answered herself bitterly, but it wasn't the socially acceptable answer.

Bazi turned her head to meet Danica's eyes, body turned defensively away. "I made a mistake." There. Her original speech had gone more along the lines of 'I needed time to accept you for who you are, I understand it all now! Blahblahblah bunnies and a few white lies!'. "It wasn't my right to tell you to leave. Scimitar, Kaskara, and Galileo made sure I knew it." And the rest of the pack, but the entire list would have costs the sentence its punch. "It wasn't.. " for the good of the pack? That sounded cold - utilitarian. Bazi averted her eyes for a moment and cleared her throat. "I just didn't understand." Nice. Eloquent.
