"Ziotea sort of cares, but she doesn't like caring."

Can you clarify this a bit for me, as it seems kind of nebulous? I think if she "sort of" cares, then that wouldn't be enough for Ragnar to spend so much effort/energy on trying not to let her bother him. The idea is that he cares for her a lot but their personalities just aren't compatible, so this leads to friction. If it's just a one-way thing, and she actively doesn't care to engage with him on that level, I don't think it would work RPing wise. 

So yeah, for clarity's sake, you should just straight up let me know if she's just sort of "blah" about Ragnar and that friction just doesn't register for her as much as it does for him or if my idea about them having a sort of passionate love/hate brother/sister relationship appeals to you at all. If it doesn't, we can just sort of have them co-exist without any kind of deep drama or anything. It can just be sort of placid I guess, with them just having an argument or two.

 Let me know what you think!
