Lost Creek Hollow looking back to look forward

bat started explaining something to him but tegan entirely tuned her out. instead, on his face was a mostly neutral expression save for the twitching of his nose. his tail swung casually at his hocks as the charlie brown adult voice echoed through his head with every word that she said. sentimental shit? miss him with that. she was fucking leaving and that was her own god damn dumb ass fault. "sure, pup," he said with a chirp, ears cupped forwards, "good luck out there." what else was he supposed to say? did she expect him to beg her to stay? 

because tegan didn't beg, thank you very much.
