furi doesn't pull away but her gesture, it seems, is not as clear as she means it to be. they're both overtired and she's close enough to see the tremble in furi's body -- close enough to think for a split second about leaving mother to the redhawks and joining nomi instead, just so she can keep an eye on the nightsky gona, but that's the opposite of showing trust, isn't it?
blixen makes a frustrated noise and moves, pressing her nose against furi's neck, the gesture simultaneously childlike and intimate, trying to offer comfort while stealing some for herself too. "furi," she says, "furi," and then, "i want to be good enough for you," because that's always the issue, isn't it, blixen's own ego and her inability to connect and her inability to be something that furi can maybe lean on. maybe she can learn - or maybe it's too late and she should just peacefully surrender furi to rose.
but furi came with me, she thinks, and swallows the last of her self doubt. "furi, i want."
and there's nobody there to catch us when we fall
