Heron Lake Plateau i'm stunting on everybody

ha! she noticed! both him and that he was upset! good! tegan hid a smug smirk. 

he turned his head, plopping himself down a few steps away from her, tail flicking with agitation. of course, he knew if he spoke towhee wouldn't be able to read his lips. so, head still turned away from her, tegan signed, -just taking a break from all the hard work i do for this pack- he told her pointedly. tegan worked hard. it had been a big character development, tegan had gone from 'NO RESPONSIBILITY' to 'oh i'm only doing it because it's fun' to 'i am an asset to the pack and i want to help'. not that he cared about rank, still. but it felt like no one noticed-- or, all his dedication went undermined by the small mistakes he made. 

-how's niamh?- he asked her, taking a moment to shoot a look her way. and then his nose twitched.

this, tegan, is why no one takes you seriously. you bafoon.
