Sleeping Dragon is 'i love you' a fact or weapon?

Her jaw worked as if Wildfire intended to rectify, clarify, something... but her mouth clapped shut when Thuringwethil began to explain. The little redhead listened raptly, swallowing a time or two. She felt a jab of disappointment but, the funny thing was, she understood. Actually, she couldn't agree more. And though she had no clue where that left them, at least they were on the same page, kinda sorta?

"All relationships end in breakup or death," she murmured perhaps too softly to be overheard. Okay, maybe they weren't on the exact same wavelength here but they were surfing in the same harbor or something. A little more loudly (and a bit sadly), she said, "I get what you're saying." She paused, huffed a breath, then tilted her head and voiced a question even as it came to her, "But it's not like you and I could have a family anyway. Could we...?" It was probably a completely inane question but it was begging to be asked.
