How did these two know each other?! Tierra was burning with curiosity but didn’t interrupt. It was pretty clear from the way Soto was eyeing her at least part of where his mind was. Awkward asf…

He didn’t give her time to translate Towhee’s question before he broke through with directions. “Tell her” was obvious, she was used to that from the few times she’d done this. “Want” and “stay” were clear enough too that she caught the gist fairly quickly.

She waited for her mom’s attention to come back to her. He wants you to stay, she replied, fighting the urge to glance at Soto incredulously. He wasn’t serious, was he?

It didn’t matter that he didn’t know she was her mom. She was her mom. This place wasn’t even close to where she belonged and there was no way in hell she’d be down with half of what went on here. Tierra wasn’t even down with some of what went on here. Say no, please.
