Heron Lake Plateau impossible to actualize an honest diagnostic

oh oops I kinda jumped ahead of people when I replied. I can delete this if y'all want!

It sounded like Finley didn't trust him at all - but why would she? Her reasons made his fur stand on-end along his spine and he opened his mouth to respond - to clear his name, more or less, because he felt that might help matters. But he ended up not saying anything, and let Finley depart towards her newborns without stopping her. He had snapped at Elwood ages ago; as far as he remembered the situation, Screech had been trying to protect his friend and rescuer and it had been Elwood's prejudice which had caused the spat. Screech thought that it was so far in the past not to affect him, but clearly his behavior had a much further reach than he thought.

Without saying anything else, he glanced at Niamh as if to say, okay lets get out of here, and turned to leave the opposite way.
