Dragoncrest Cliffs no room for you on the right side

it's not surprising that mother doesn't want them involved but blixen's immediate reaction is dismissal - and it's weird, really, because she hadn't thought until now about how the power dynamic has shifted in mother's absence. when she was young she would have obeyed any order mother gave without question. now she has to stop herself from asking so what,  i'm a gona. mother wasn't here to see her train - hasn't seen what she's capable of yet.

nomi seems to have wisened up to blixen's hair trigger temper, because the way she phrases it actually makes the ginger stop and think. "... who are you bringing with you?" she asks with a frown. if mother wants them to stay - she revises her previous opinion, artie will definitely stay, the goody two shoes. she looks at her feet, frowning harder, and sighs. "if i want to go, am i allowed?" she hedges - maybe it's less about the act of going and more about being trusted enough to chose for herself, to have options. right now the ginger is torn between wanting to enact holy revenge - something she definitely has been training for - and wanting to stay and protect drageda, especially if nomi's bringing their strongest with her. 

but that does mean she'll be here with furi... she doubts furi will want to go. unless nomi is planning on bringing her? nn... blixen watches her nomi with an intense expression, already more mature than the girl who'd thrown a tantrum to follow her to rhc.
