Dragoncrest Cliffs let’s be like tigger and pooh

whatever it is she expects rose to ask, it isn't that. blixen takes a step back as if struck, her expression wounded. at length she says, "yeah," and pauses, sucking in a deep breath. "she dumped me."

this isn't the first time she's said so out loud -- there was ingram for starters -- but somehow admitting it to rose feels like ripping open a wound that's barely begun to clot over. she glowers at the girl, feeling suddenly petulant -- isn't it enough that rose won? she doesn't have to worry about her getting in between the pair anymore, furi can go be her best friend or whatever. before she can stop herself she adds, "so we don't have to pretend to be friends for her sake anymore," entirely too-mean too-petty and even as the words come out she winces at herself. rose and her hadn't been friends but they'd been fine and hell, even underneath all this anger blix still likes the pretty redhead -- well, damn, that ship has sailed.
