I actually really enjoy the fact that FCG seems to be straight up pissed at D for selling them to Dancer. It makes sense--from FCG's POV, D effectively sold him like a pile of scraps to Dancer, inadvertently placing FCG in a position where they had no concept of their own personhood, where they had no identity other than servitude. In the same way that FRIDA was angry with the gods for their awakening, FCG is angry with D. For bringing him back, but taking no responsibility for guiding him or teaching him or helping him in any meaningful way. How beneficial is it to fling a baby bird from its nest before it's even opened its eyes? Not very.
FCG choosing to reach out to Dancer instead of D? The safer option to them. Yeah, they should probably lay off of Dancer after everything that happened, yeah continuing to seek her forgiveness right now isn't really the move. But it is, perhaps, less fraught in FCG's eyes to approach Dancer and simultaneously more meaningful to them. D, to FCG, is just someone who could have brought them back (or had someone else awaken them if need be) and stick around to tell him what he is and why he was awakened. Who could have assured him of his personhood from the first. D did none of that. Dancer, alternatively, practically raised him, even if it was a deeply flawed relationship. Seeking that forgiveness and connection to her, no matter how misguided, makes a lot of sense
