Got Me Looking So Crazy Right Now

Uh oh, Sparrow was speaking in another language, that wasn't good! Peregrine wasn't sure which way to run but her indecision would become her downfall. Before she knew it the smaller female was all in her space and the moment was lost. Wow, she was really mad, huh? Peregrine supposed in retrospect it made at least a bit of sense. It might have been smart to make sure there was someone there to back her up before letting loose a war cry but if there was anyone one this planet suited to live in the moment it was Peregrine. She opened and closed her mouth, fighting to get a word in edgewise, but it wasn't until the older fae's voice cracked that Peregrine got a chance. Oh. Oh no. Guilt swarmed her, pummeled her, and Peregrine was not exactly the consoling type. She took a half step closer, wincing as she did. How could she explain that she'd just... done it? There didn't seem to be a nice way to say 'You just weren't on my mind' but the truth was... well, she'd been thinking about very different things. "Sparrow, I-" she began, but her thoughts would not find order. Mind racing, she was lost among Sparrow's rant, all until she asked, "Didn't you ever think- oh, I don't know- that maybe someone would WORRY about you, Pere?" Peregrine's jaw dropped open, forced open by the wind leaving her lungs. She hadn't... really realized that it was like that. She sputtered, searching for and kind of traction or excuse. "Well, I guess I... I mean, I was just hoping that I'd bounce back if anything happened," she said weakly. "You know, like I always do." She had an impressive track record of narrowly escaping various situations, and it'd worked for her so far! She never really needed someone else to look after her, but since coming to Boreas she'd appreciated having friends around. Was that the same thing? She let out another held breath. "Look Sparrow, I'm really sorry... Let me make it up to you?" Her smile was small, merely a bud waiting for the shining of her approval before daring to blossom any further. Somehow she didn't think she'd be let off the hook that easily... She just hoped Sparrow would at least let her wait until she'd recovered. |
