Something about the early days of Pétronille’s dynamic with the party, for @draconicartmainblog for my gift exchange!

An illustration of Pétronille, Isabeau, and Mirabelle sitting around a campfire. Pétronille looks like Bonnie, with shoulder length hair in a kerchief, a short sleeve shirt with geometric patterns, fingerless gloves, shorts, and sandals. She’s looking away unhappily. Mirabelle is looking at her, about to say something, and Isabeau is looking at Mirabelle; both seem concerned.
A series of game-style dialogue boxes with custom Nille portraits.
Mirabelle, worried: Are you sure? If you'd rather have Bonnie share a tent with you, we could-
Nille, looking away: I said it's fine. It's good for them to have people they can trust to keep them safe.
Isabeau, worried: Pétronille, you know that includes you, right?
Nille, looking away: Sure
Isabeau, smiling and concerned: They're worried about Sif right now, but that doesn't mean they care about or trust you any less.
Nille, eyes closed: Obviously. I know they’ll never stop caring about me.
Nille, clutching her shirt, frustrated: Even if I mess up. They'll still care, and care, and it'll just hurt all the more because they trusted me and I still couldn't keep them safe.
Nille, starting to cry: I just- I'll just have to do better next time- I'll take classes, I’ll get stronger, so I can actually protect them-
Mirabelle, determined: And we’ll help!
Nille, looking up, still teary:
Mirabelle, smiling gently: You don't have to do it alone anymore. We can help each other get stronger, and we can protect them together.
