Sun Mote Copse Fire and gold.

Phox could be more objective about this, she knew, despite Pippin having insulted him. Towhee listened (in her way) as he made some of the same points as Wraen. It wore on her how quickly they gave him the benefit of the doubt rather than calling him out for his bad behavior. She knew him better than both of them and could find no excuse for it, though of course she was terribly biased at this point.

-"Pippin's inability to understand a clear sentence is not my problem. I don't think he misunderstood me at all, for the record. I just think he didn't get his way and he decided to be an asshole about it. You know, I understand how I must've frustrated him, I really do get that. But the dude hasn't come seen Meerkat once since that conversation. If it was really about spending time with her, then why hasn't he?"- Her brows arched so high they practically leaped off her face.

Phox managed to cut through the tension with a quip she wasn't expecting. Towhee managed a dry laugh as her limbs loosened a little and she quit pacing for a moment. -"I'm never going anywhere near that dick again,"- she said, aware of the double entendre and letting it hang for a moment before saying, -"I do plan to talk to him about it again sometime but only after I move past my urge to murder him."-

She flopped to her bottom abruptly, sighing a little. -"Pippin aside, there's also Arcturus. And in his case, I actually agree with your earlier points. I think he'd be a good influence in Meerkat's life. I've been thinking about talking to him too. He hasn't been an enormous fuckface."- She huffed. -"You're really okay with sharing dad duty?"- she couldn't help but wonder, eyes careful on his face.
