What Is Love! No, Seriously. [Sirius]

Sirius moved to sit beside her and she listened, quirking a brow up at him as he explained how he first started out disliking Isa. She felt an immediate comparison in some ways, remembering her first encounter with Dag when they were pups. She'd thought the other girl was bratty and full of herself. They'd almost immediately started a rivalry that was cut short by distance until their unexpected meeting over a year later.

Her father went on to explain that he realized he was in love with Isa when he realized he was going to lose her. Gossy's brow furrowed for a moment as she looked at her paws. It was sort of how upset Dag had been upon learning of the flood but did Gossy feel the same way? She thought back to the bear attack but was only met with confusion. There was pain. It would hurt to lose Dagrún but at the same time Gossamer felt confident she could live without the other. If everything fell apart she'd carry on. It would hurt, it would probably scar, but she could make it on her own. Was that normal? In love stories it always seemed like the characters 'couldn't live without. each other'. But… well that couldn't be right.

As she listened to Sirius speak she knew her father had been in love with her mother. Her mother was gone now but that didn't mean he hadn't loved her or that he didn't still love her.

Gossy bit her lip. "Well… yes, actually." Her toes dug into the earth, stirring and breaking it up as she tried to channel her nerves out through them. "I've been spending a fair amount of time with Dagrún Finnvi of Ethne. I like her a lot, I consider us really good friends and I might… I don't know… I might be in love with her?" She looked up at her father, seeking further guidance to this puzzle.
