I do think this conversation was MAJOR progress for them and how they communicate. They actually managed to form some sort of conclusion, even if she wasn’t entirely honest in what she wants. He is also seeming to take more note of how she’s feeling, though he’s trying to soothe it away instead of understand why she’s feeling that way. It’s definitely not perfect but it’s BETTER
Yeah I do feel like they've made a lot of progress. He knows what she came from now. If it seems like he still doesn't respect her autonomy or want her to contribute, well he watched her get beaten, bleed out from a miscarriage, and almost die before that from severely burning out her mana. If you read the ACOTAR series by Sarah J. Maas, she has PTSD from watching her mate die even though he survived.










Okay go bang like monkeys and then please one of you broach the topic of why he was silent for 5 DAYS
That’s an insult for a killer whale
Yeah he genuinely seems to have no idea how much time passed or that he was even visited.
We know why. The director gave orders to put him to sleep for several days. You guys missed that
