Redhawk Caldera I'm a phoenix in the water

As expected, because she didn't put the proper gravity on it due to limited vocabulary (ugh), Towhee got to make a totally corny joke and ruin it.  Fennec's pained look after that was more than a little long-suffering and joking for a change, but she really did appreciate the sentiment.  She wasn't sure how much she liked the statement after.

Everyone was always in such a god damn hurry to let her know what they thought she should do.  She felt a flash of righteous annoyance and it likely showed on her face, but she tried to temper it down quickly.  Towhee hadn't likely meant to trigger a reaction but Fennec's back was up the instant she expressed her preference.  She couldn't even explain the frustration; it felt sourceless.

Yeah.  She chose to answer noncommittally, but then nestled her nose into Towhee's side as a somewhat apology.  She didn't really want to talk about what she was doing next right now.
