Explanation:

1. For the first blank: The text states Brigid showed "pride and concern" while teaching Nadia, and says she doesn't want Nadia to get hurt, which fits the meaning of "supportive".
2. For the second blank: The "heavy blanket of silence" follows an argument between the sisters, showing they are now in conflict or distant, so the phrase "in conflict with each other" (or the implied meaning of being distant/arguing) fits here.

Answer:

1. First blank: supportive
2. Second blank: in conflict with each other
