There's nothing much to it! She didn't really realize the depth of WAIT WHAT NO— Aerta was feeling about Heron being there until it was way too late. And she kind of… still doesn't? But she's aware enough and observant enough that she could recognize OH OOPS AERTA DOESN'T WANT THIS even before Heron came out and said it. And… since she's still settling into the idea that AptC is her new clan, because as independent as she is she needs people, the idea that Heron + Lawful Good could potentially drive Aerta out of the apartment has occurred to her and is 8(

So, yes. Oops. SORRY AERTA I DIDN'T MEAN TO ACCIDENTALLY YOU IN THE FEELINGS??? Why are feelings so complicated. Gosh. It wouldn't be so bad if she wasn't trying to find her equilibrium with all of those other feelings, and maybe once she's had a chance to find her footing, she'll do the dumb, straightforward Vulp thing and ask Aerta if there's something she wants to do about it that isn't just escapism. :'D

... and also drag Aerta outside again, because that's a thing she's been meaning to do.
