the most important thing to note about all of this about nightingale is that. girl is KY as fuck. She doesn't really understand people's feelings unless she's told or they're that obvious! and she never realizes when the shit she does hurts people because she tries really hard not to hurt people. So why would her actions hurt people? She's still kind of unaware of how badly Sparrow was hurt by Nightingale dying in trauma prom instead of her. Similarly, she didn't realize how badly her faces at the start hurt the bab teammates, and she talked it out with Hawk, and kind of thinks the matter is resolved! She's going to be nicer to the tinies, make sure they feel welcome, etc.
That... of course, isn't working so well, because she doesn't know how to feelings worth a damn at all.
She does still value herself less than Tak, but also, she also thinks herself better able to take the bad shit because she's been around longest and had shit like that happen to her at home. So a bit of maiming or dying is fine to her, really. (it's not really she's terrified of dying now.)
but she really does loev lark so much and thinks of her as a little sister, and really wishes she could make things better for Lark somehow. They might need a feelings jam at some point in the future? Because Nightingale isn't aware of half of these problems, because again, KY as fuck.
also citrine and lark need to hang out more and be cute.
Is there anything you particularly want to do with Lark in the future?
