Redhawk Caldera Circus minimus.

Fennec was glad to hear that Towhee was back and apparently feeling better, but in a way, it only reinforced and compounded the hurt she'd felt when her mom left. She still felt as though the reason her mom hadn't come to her was because she didn't want to see her, didn't want her help. Fennec didn't know why or what had changed either, but rather than asking, she bottled it up and ran with it.

Of course - she wants to see Killdeer, Fennec thought, a little acidic, but getting up from where she'd been resting. She contemplated not going out and just waiting until Towhee left, but without being able to admit it, she missed her. She wasn't ready, but it wasn't like things could get worse.

Fennec listened as she left and kept a bit of space between them, but sat down with a neutral look. Towhee sounded better. Of course. Miracle worker Raven.. Fuck, this was a mistake.

Killdeer isn't here, she said without much inflection. I'm glad you're back.. She wanted to say it, but selfish and petty hurt caught the words in her throat.
