Sleeping Dragon 808s & heartbreak

Wildfire took a moment to ponder Freyja's next few questions. The term "crush" didn't seem to fit her feelings toward Thuringwethil, then or now. First of all, she hadn't been consciously aware of them for the longest time. When she finally recognized her feelings for what they were, they were already unfathomably deep. No, she wouldn't have applied that term to herself and the commander, though she would say she'd once had a crush on Floki.

She didn't want to bring up her former mate, nor psychoanalyze her current relationship, so Wildfire just said, "Yes, sort of. And I think most do, though perhaps not everyone. It's perfectly normal." Her lips twitched into the faintest smile before just as quickly falling out of sheer exhaustion. "Have you had the talk with your mother?" she couldn't help but wonder next.
