Sun Mote Copse Coheed and Cambria

She'd assumed Towhee was there, but it seemed she wasn't quite yet.  Instead Fennec became the main focus as Phox rushed to embrace her, and she pulled back, instinctively withdrawing.  

So many times she'd gotten her hopes up and then crushed.  First she'd arrived here only to find them trapped, cut off from her and maybe even lost.  Then she'd regained Towhee, but they'd remained apart.  Finally, when she and Towhee had searched the open pass, only to find them already gone.  She couldn't handle this again.

Where were you?! she asked, and while she didn't mean for it to come out as an accusation, it did anyway.  There was a sharp hurt to it, and she took another step back.  If they had any sort of reaction to this she wouldn't see it... the relief in Phox's voice, and the emotion, were clear enough.  She was simply too rocked to let it appease her quite yet.
