Frozenberry -

 

Frozenberry's frustration resumed, coming back from its distracted honey hiatus to be reignited by the fact he was now coated in mud too. Mature. Really mature. Haughty, he snipped, "It's not how I would've responded." He liked this scenario where he could pretend he would've taken the high road when in reality recognized that wasn't true at all. least he looked the part of the mess he was these days, for now. and he still would after they washed off this muck and his fur was left to dry at weird angles.

a part of him didn't want to. a very sizable part of him. He could just let the stupid mud sit there because he already felt caked in grime from the inside out, what difference did it make. would save him a trip--
into the outside-camp, too. He liked his monotony, the safety. Didn't go out unless he had to (like the times his paranoia whispered he was being followed).

Zoning out again. He needed to stop that. It was more noticeable now that he was.. actually interacting with- someone. No, not someone. Falcon. The lump rose in his throat. "You're not supposed to run toward the fire."

Frozenberry hesitated at his prompt. That would be the . . healthy, normal thing. To go outside camp like it wasn't a big deal, because he was a warrior with another warrior, and to clear the mud from his fur. He wished a downpour would come and take care of it, brutalize him with water until he finally deemed himself cleansed (foreign feeling). His gaze slid to Falcon. (Healing. Healed. With the no-memory caveat.) Living a regular life in spite of what they went through -- what he went through. it was long past time to at least attempt reentering some semblance of existence that wasn't just rehashing the horrors he'd seen.

He'd waited too long to answer. Rising humiliation at his own silence forced words, "Owls don't like the rain, right?" roughly translated to a tepid: let's go.
