The Tangle but it was met with some disdain

she's expecting something like "i'm a dumb boy" or "she got tired of me being a dumb boy", something she could get behind easily. his actual answer surprises her. 

blix frowns, frustrated that she gets him, annoyed that she even has to say this (but the girl does not have a stitch of deceit in her). "that's stupid, she shouldn't have asked you to pick." her voice is blunt. nothing matters to blixen more than family -- or, well, drageda, but those are one in the same. if furi'd asked her to choose between nomi or her... she doesn't even want to think about it. furi wouldn't do that, anyway.

of course he turns the question back around, and she huffs, looking away. "i don't know! she got upset that i told my mother we were together, i think? and said a bunch of stuff about not being ready whatever that means." furi's explanations still confused her, only adding to her anger about the issue. if she'd said "i just dont like you that way", well, that'd suck, but at least it was something she could parse. but.. not ready? not ready for what? theyd barely even done any real.. couple-y things. ugh. "dating," she declares vehemently, "is stupid."
