Blacktail Deer Plateau we are in a state of flux

furi's reaction isn't surprising to blix, who has been through the ghost of similar conversations enough times. she doesn't know that she's afraid of drageda coming for her -- if she did she could've put that worry to rest right quick -- and all the answers she's prepared slip away before she can grab hold of them, until she blurts "because i love you," and has to finally look down at her paws to fight the naked vulnerabilty of it. belatedly she thinks, thats probably not what furi wants to hear, but when has she been good at saying what furi wants to hear? 

when she speaks again it is slower. "you left without saying goodbye or anything. did you think i didn't -- that i wouldn't be worried about you?" a small frown has taken residence underneath her drooping eyes, though it reads more anxious than condemning. "i didn't know you were here," she adds, daring to look back up, hoping furi hasn't already run away from her once more.
