He was a precocious, quiet child who generally preferred to remain closest to his mother, soaking up everything she had to tell him. He had been raised just the same as Samael, but the latter of the two had remained true to his indoctrination of Lykoi principles. The hybrid woman did not think less of Razekiel for this, but she did find herself wondering if her children hated her for what she was. Violence was a part of Kaena, bequeathed to her by her mother and continued by her stepmother and half-brother. Aside from Andre, violence was all she had known in her young life. "Some of us chose to carve our own way," the hybrid woman responded, offering a slow smile. She couldn't hate her children for what they became, unless they rejected her and Inferni entirely and denounced it as Vitium had. Then again, Ahren's litter was far more wolfish than Kaena's other children, and it was only natural they would struggle with their hybrid heritage more than the others. The coyote woman was familiar with that inner dialogue; it had taken her quite a long time to come to grips with her hybrid blood. "Gabriel worries too much," the hybrid said with a laugh, though this was said in all fondness. "Suppose it's natural, though. Leadership isn't an easy thing," the coyote said, recalling her own time spent as Aquila. The pressure of the clan weighing down on one's shoulders could certainly be intense. "I'm sure he'll like to see you, though." Kaena was sure of that; she had no knowledge of Gabriel's interactions with most of his siblings. She knew he considered Vitium a traitor, he'd killed Andre... but Rikka was his whole-blood sister, not some halfling devil spawned by Astaroth. How could he reject her? |
