It's worth a try. Maybe it will make me feel better to smash a few of those so-called trees.

[Impostors. Ivy knows just how hard they are to destroy, but they can be destroyed and it's fucking worth it.]

There's no way she's not going to take her castle back after losing it like she did. Only a matter of time before we get the opportunity.

Exactly.

[And then Jordana sighed.]

I've already committed to helping my girlfriend look for that captive guy if we try to take the castle back. I can't promise I'll be able to help you destroy the tree.

I want to, but...

[She can't be in two places at once.]

That seems fair. Like, I get you have to be there for your girlfriend. Ride or die, right?

[Maybe. Either way.]

Worst case, as long as we get the castle back, the trees will still be there.

[Jordana never considered if she was ride or die for anyone that wasn't her pack. She decided not to consider it now; Ivy seemed to understand and not be upset about it.]

And I don't know if we'll even find him. Once that's settled and it's safe for me to leave her - she won't be alone without me - I'll come help you if you still need me.

[She didn't think Vex would object since Vax would be with her. But there was only so much planning that could be done right then.]

It's still a long way off. But if I need breaking a fucking tree, I'll call you.

[Because if that's how she gets her memories back? That's what she's going to do.]

Shit...

I'm not like—you're not supposed to be somewhere else now, are you?

Right now, I can't think of anything more important to me than comforting my friend.

[And then she raised her eyebrows at Ivy.]

I didn't cancel any plans, so don't worry about it. I would have, but I didn't need to.

You have. You really have. I know it's kind of hard to tell with... all of this.

[When people with powerful elemental connections have a meltdown, it does get a little dramatic.]

But this is a lot less awful than it could have been.

If you need to upend an acre while there aren't defenseless people within it, go ahead. I know you'll put it back. You're much more controlled than Stegosaurus was.

[Jirdana pressed a kiss to Ivy’s brow.]

I'm glad I helped.
