Dragoncrest Cliffs Your heart full of foxes

rorqual's weird quirk earns a fleeting smile and a mumbled "bat," but her amusement at her little sister can't override the depression that's descended upon her with admitting her relationship's failure to mother. she accepts the affection, pressing in a little closer. when mother asks what happens blix tenses slightly, furi's face flashing into her thoughts, furi saying you told your mom.

she'd been so, so furious, but when she pulls back a little and takes in her mother's concerned face and the babies behind her, she can't find it in her to act on it. "i don't know," she says instead, not really lying, "she said she wasn't ready? i don't know what she meant, though." she adds miserably, moving to butt her head against mother's chest.
