She was crying quietly against Durgan's chest when Dane's voice broke across her mind and she realized he must have been listening to the conversation she was having with his brother. Indignation flared for a moment over the lack of privacy but she pushed that aside and let out a low breath, drawing back from Durgan's embrace slowly. It's not the same as having someone here. Dane might be a part of her but it wasn't like she could touch that part, talk to that part, it didn't make her stop being so damned lonely. Despite how long she had been here, she didn't have any friends still and Dane was really her only companion to keep the loneliness from eating at her. Now that he was indisposed, she truely felt all by herself. She bit her lip and frowned a touch, pulling away from Durgan completely so that she could stand up. One hand lifted to brush the tear tracks from her eyes as she turned to head to the closet. She didn't want anyones pity, really, she didn't want Durgan to feel bad for the poor half-breed dragon who didn't even know who she really was. I am fine now, Durgan, really, thank you. The man looked a little unsure but when she said again that she was fine, all but dismissing him, he finally just stood up and took his leave with a promise to come check on her later. Once the place was again quiet and she was alone, she sat back on the bed, just needing a chance to think, to reflect. Not knowing how many minutes had passed, she finally stood up stepped out onto the balcony. With just a moments hesitation, she shifted her forms, leaving a shimmering mist of white smoke around her. Within a blink of an eye, she was up in the air, circling around lallybroch. Maybe she just needed to burn some energy, to get rid of this anxiousness inside of her and flying had always soothed her well. Hours went by, until her wings were once more aching and only then did she find a place to land - in the clearing that she was so found of. With a low grumbling roar, she curled into a ball, tucking her nose beneath the tip of her tail...and allowed her eyes to close.
