Redhawk Caldera Jet Song

He was so off base.  And the more he went on, the madder she got, though it was that ending statement that really set it off.  It wasn't the fact that she felt the need to defend Penn, but it was the fact that Bronco had no clue what he was talking about and still managed to stab her in the gut. 

It was news that Penn was in the area - but that wouldn't dawn on her for a while.

Right, and of course, you do.  Because someone who acts like that has to be an asshole, whereas someone like you couldn't be.  The words came out dripping in sarcasm.  Fennec was fuming, but she knew Penn well enough to correct at least one thing.  Bronco's proof was bullshit, but it wasn't like she needed it.  If he was laughing then he knew I ran off, and he's a dick, so of course he's not going to tell you.  And y'know what?  Good.  Because yeah, he doesn't give a shit about me, but at least he doesn't pretend to be my friend.

She hadn't meant to say that last bit.  Thinking about what led up to her time away, and hearing Bronco diss Penn for the same shit he'd pulled just prior, loosed the floodgates entirely.  She let it stand and remained frozen.
