His voice was still stern and Gabriel seemed to know who her father was. Even if he did not have power here, he was still in her head. She could hear his voice commanding her and it took everything she had to ignore him. Sometimes she couldn't. When she was punished by Sivaro or Eris or Kaena's most recent, his voice was strong, as was her second owner. Sivaro was dead, too, and he had a tight hold on her mind as well. The both of them together gave her hell constantly and she had to put so much effort in order to fight them off and sometimes that was just not enough.
Then Gabriel asked about her scab and her ears twitched on her head and for a moment, she didn't know what to say. She was scared to lie but she was afraid to say Kaena had done it. Where she used to live, her wounds had never been questioned. It was known well that she was a slave and no one cared whether or not she suffered. "It was... an accident," she said and her weight shifted awkward from one side of her body to the other and hoped it was enough to keep further questions away. It might not have been an accident but it was the only answer she could come up with.
