Fall down sick, I'm not insane

Maybe he felt like she wasn’t okay with the idea of coping at all, but Bellamy just saw coping done a different way. She would never be okay with the feelings she felt, especially about the Empire and her past, and though she might accept she had them she would continue to fight them when they arose. If you didn’t fight through the trauma, instead of just pretending it was okay, you weren’t really healing. You were, in her mind, actually letting it win and rule you by allowing it to make you feel downcast. There was a good and a bad way to cope and sadly his way didn’t actually sound healthy to her at all.

Thankfully their attention shifted to the packs, with him mentioning that the Grove would be similar. That was good to hear, really. A place where all walks of life could be accepted, just like Ethne. “It does sound like we could be good allies, doesn’t it? It would certainly be nice to have more folks with a like mindset, part of our packs or not. Everyone needs a helping paw now and again, after all, right?” At least she believed they did. It was natural for a pack to need allies, especially when the world as a whole could be cold.

“Interesting… in Foi there are no Divinities that were once mortal, and though I do not know of any siblings of sorts to Celeste and Nox I know that as a mortal we might not know everything about the Divinities, God and Goddess. It is entirely possible that somewhere in the celestial bodies there was more going on. Who are we to say?” She was open-minded to the idea that the Goddess Itsume might actually be kin of sorts to the Allmother Celeste. “I certainly wouldn’t mind exchanging stories. Getting to know more religions outside of Foi and Majofionism would be good, I think.”

As he finished up, speaking of how fighting was necessary to protect her loved ones, to bring hope to those she cared for, Bellamy gave a firm nod. “I like to think so. I’m not a heartless creature, but I will attack to defend myself and those I love. I could not bear the thought of anyone I cared for going through something like what I’d gone through. It’s… not right. No beast should.” Bellamy paused and then spoke up again.

“Fenix, I know that you’re planning on making the Grove, but perhaps, if I form Ethne before you are ready, you might consider staying with us for a while. It’d be nice to have another wolf with a good head on their shoulders around, especially when I’m sure I’ll be giving birth to my little ones before I can challenge.” She chuckled softly. “My poor mate will have his paws full, what with our adoptive daughter, a polar bear cub, and whatever little ones that are on the way…”
