oblivion is the name of this abode: and she is there
While Flora may be staring at her palm, Anju cannot take her eyes off the Doubletake's pensive expression. Stealth that does not rely on sneaking around seems a little backwards at first - at least until the young woman explains further. "Deception, perhaps?" Illusions and the like that could get her out of sticky situations or allow her close to sink her feathers into someone's side.
In fact, Anju does understand. Her parents are well-established and wealthy in Torchline, and the nepo baby leaving the family business to become a soldier had earned her a difficult path when she had first signed up. "I do," she murmurs, and briefly lets her thumb rise to brush against Flora's hand as it continues to massage at the calloused skin there. "Underestimating you is the greatest insult they can give you," because Anju will not pretend it won't continue to be a burden on her mentally to be looked down on, "but so long as you believe in yourself, their disregard is advantageous." Anju does not know her nearly well enough to say if she is indeed the type to run to her parents, but it's clear to the Dragoon that she does not want to be. That's enough for her. "Do you have someone here you can train with?"
