Dragoncrest Cliffs now keen eyes are keener

as ever she is oblivious to ajatar's irritation with her. and, anyway, she brought blix along, she asked for this. ajatar confirms there have been other heda's with families, which makes blixen feel smug, until she says they don't last long. what is long comparatively? nomi's been heda for basically forever. she hums, wanting to hear more but trying to think of a more clever way to phrase it than just why. unfortunately, she can't think of anything.

"why? not - i can guess why they don't last long," she clarifies, "but, why is it so frowned upon?" she knows the answer in theory (or could at least puzzle it out) but given that her and artaax, and even bobby, are fairly solid members of drageda and nomi performs as heda still quite well she doesn't really get the fuss. maybe nomi's just that good, she thinks, and puffs up slightly with pride beside the fos goufa.
