Well of course they aren't going to listen. They are so set in their beliefs, and sure that they know and understand the motives and goals of the other peoples, that Wren's truths are irrelevant. I hate that Triventri isn't really listening to her (at least, not yet). As her friend, he should listen. I know it shakes his entire world, but why would Wren lie? And how else do you explain her survival? She is living proof that the Riggian are not like the Lusbei.
I am soooo glad you updated!!!!
First, let me say I agree with Wren's reaction to the impending pregnancy. Bringing a child into such an uncertain world is not a good idea. But...in regard to most everyone else, I feel like Wren isn't doing a great job understanding what it's like for them to see her again. I think consciously she knows what a mind fuck it is, but emotionally, she has changed too much and they are no longer what's most important to her. That life is no longer what drives her. I hate that for her brother, in particular. It's like he found the piece that should complete him, but it no longer fits right, like it has outgrown him.
I hope you can update again soon!
