Heron Lake Plateau Norupo.

god, she ignored him. tegan bristled more and more as he was just ignored. she focused on crying babies, like they fucking mattered. honestly, part of tegan wanted to take them and fling them out of the way too. less to deal with. but that would've been too far -- and as terrible as he apparently was, tegan was not screech. tegan was not screech. 

she looked up at him, ignoring what he was saying and only telling him to get away from them. so tegan took another step forwards, eyes ablaze. and then she answered, staring at him with anger and hatred. god, like she had the fucking right. where are you gonna go, towhee? he sneered, a smile pressed upon his features as if it belonged there -- but it didn't, tegan felt anything but happy. are you going with phox? and these two? what about raven? and her kids? are you just going to leave them here to fucking ROT? he accused with a lash of his tail, the smile wiped off his expression as fast as it had come, you're no better than any of them!! 

and then tegan lunged, mouth gaping and fully prepared to clamp down on any part of towhee he could get his mouth on, if any.
