Magpie didn't mind the lack of elaboration, since she didn't particularly want to explain the complexities of Redhawk Caldera to a complete stranger— realizing that as much as she wanted someone to vent to (that always helped her sort through her thoughts and feelings), it probably wasn't appropriate in this situation. She merely bobbed her head in acceptance of the other's simple statement.
The question startled her, though. She blinked, responding without thinking much: "No. I'll always have a home with them." Realizing how contradictory that sounded compared to her earlier statements, Magpie gave a small laugh. "That's complicated, too." And now she was really curious about the other's predicament, and she was never one to hold back completely. "Family is more important than... anything. Why would they be mean to you?"
She didn't realize it now, but Magpie would learn someday soon just how mean family could be.
