Heron Lake Plateau Norupo.

If the young hawk hadn't been dead at their feet, this might have gone down a lot differently. Towhee would've probably been stunned by his ability to sniff her out, then understood Tegan's anger and tried to placate him. But now she was implacably angry, fucking furious, for not just killing X's offspring but quite likely causing the hawk never to return, after everything she'd done for Towhee et al. Not to mention the fact that X had raised Z specifically—for weeks, probably—to make Fen's life easier.

She could remember feeling betrayed before, though this was one of the worst cases Towhee had ever experienced. "YOU MURDERED X'S BABY!" she screamed, seething. "WHY? WHY, YOU FUCKING PUNK ASS BITCH?" she demanded, thrusting her face in his so that spittle flew from her mouth and quite likely sprayed him. "HE WAS HERE TO HELP FEN! WHY? WHY? WHY? BECAUSE OF SOMETHING YOU THOUGHT YOU KNEW?"

Never mind that he was right. It didn't justify anything in her mind. Towhee so badly wanted to shove his face in the dirt and stomp the hell out of him. Instead, she forcefully tore away from him, abruptly remembering the children. "Get the fuck away from us," the Beta warned Tegan while her back was to him.
