peace offering

It wasn't a story she cared to retell, she hadn't been at her best at the time and was addled with the hormones of her first heat, but the fallout had been horrendous. She faintly remembered the last words she'd uttered to him, biting and frustrated, backed into a corner and forced to lash out. What was it she'd even said? Something about things changing, friendships unable to weather the storm and her wanting to be left out of their love fest. Not her finest moment but... Maybe she had a bit of Azure in her too, maybe she too tended to lash out when hurt.

"It all just..." She raised a paw to swipe at her nose.

It was unpleasant to linger upon, painted grey by the passage of time and yet she felt no desire to sugar coat it either. Common sense told her not to tell Azure about the sort of kiss, but why not? It was literally nothing, Hanako had just given Bean a lick, and yet Mortis had freaked out like she'd tried to eat his tongue. Beyond all the negative feelings she idly found herself feeling a little giddy at the thought of Azure getting jealous, of him doing something about it. But she was quick to shoo that aside and reminded herself she was mad at him. Really.

"So we were fishing on the beach and he was in one of his sulky moods, so I just gave him a peck on the cheek. It wasn't a big deal but he really blew it out of proportion and tried to make it into something it just wasn't." She could have handled that, it was something Azure did quite often it seemed. But it was what he did next that bothered her most of all. "We didn't talk for a bit and he got all cosy with Hikaru, to fill in the space I guess. The next time we spoke he got so upset with me he started yelling at me and ripped out his feathers, said something about being done with everything. He left the Armada for a while, think he only recently got back."

She finished, not feeling any better now that she'd gotten it all out. Her life was a series of messes, each more complicated than the last. Bean seemed thoroughly unimpressed by their conversation and settled back down.

"I know he'll try to make up and I just, don't want to deal with that. I want you here, not him."
