Robbie watched first CC and then Atti depart within quick succession. Was this going to be it then? The whole group as pushed apart as possible within minutes of rejoining? He stood there for a second, transfixed, unsure which way to go. Should he go after Atti and Serenity? Help them sort it out. Or should he....<br/><br/>He made up his mind and raced up the path, blurring past Atti and Serenity as he fell into his usual track pace. This was something new about him, he thought wryly, as he pushed on. Something they'd not known in him before.<br/><br/>He caught up with CC at the edge of the group of huts, skidding to a stop in the gravelly ground.<br/><br/>"CC" he said, panting only slightly, and looking her dead in those angry eyes. He was suddenly angry, looking at them, furious. Annoyance bubbled in him. Who was she to get so high and mighty? His blood was up and he spoke without thinking.<br/><br/>"CC, what's the hurry? You really think I deserve getting cold shouldered like that? Not just the others, but me especially?" He jabbed his hands angrily as he spoke. "You and I were always friends and even if you've not answered any of the ton of letters I sent you over the years I think I deserve a little more respect than a fucking cold shoulder right?"
