Dragoncrest Cliffs let’s be like tigger and pooh

despite the hardships in her life blix has been sheltered. she was wanted, she is loved, even through turbulent times she knows her family has her back. she's never put much thought into what it must be like for those outside of her family unit -- for rose and for furi (and maybe even seri to a degree). occasionally she's wondered if furi misses her family, but... since she never brought it up, blix has never really dwelled on it. after all, as far as she's concerned, once you join drageda you are part of drageda, your past be damned.

that is maybe not the correct way to think about things.

rose's reaction is not what she expects after that admission, and visibly startled, the smaller redhead takes a few steps backward. confusion sweeps through her. "r-rose," she says, and oh no, rose is crying, she can't really deal with that. the anger has been shocked out of her, leaving her winded. for a second she thinks about just.. leaving, but -- she's not a coward. instead she sucks in a deep breath, awkwardly looking away (less to give rose space and more to spare herself). "i... didn't know you felt that way," blixen says. in other circumstances the indignant urge to defend drageda (this is your home!) would have overwhelmed her. now she... wants to try to understand, maybe. "are... are you not happy here?" she asks, her voice unusually delicate. it's unfathomable, really. but... she wants to know. needs to. maybe it'll help her understand furi, too -- whose presence goes unnoticed, caught up in the moment as blixen is.
