OH NOEZESZ. 355.
The coyote woman bit her lower lip as the other canine remained quiet, her yellow-golden eye still focused on the tiny trinket in the smaller coyote's nose. She did not even know the full story of the Quintus; the silver furred hybrid did not know the whole of everything the younger woman had gone through. There were bits and pieces of the story she had grasped at, but the full thing was far beyond her reach, buried somewhere in the brain of the tawny-furred woman. Perhaps it was locked away from her conscious, never to resurface—the last time Kaena had pried at the past it had seemed to hurt Vieira, and the ashen hybrid was not certain she wanted to prod at those sensitive spots once again. The Quintus had suffered more than enough in her life.
The hybrid saw the other's position, and she took a cautious few steps forward, lowering her own muzzle till it was on level with Vieira's own. She reached forward until they were practically touching; the scarred red, white, and silver of the elder woman's snout reaching for the wheat-colored fur of the other canine's nose. After a moment like this the Centurion's tongue reached out and delivered a short, affectionate lick to the canine's muzzle. She didn't dislike Vieira; she certainly didn't hate the younger canine. Though, this was a relationship relative to rank like any other—why did it make Kaena uncomfortable? The hybrid woman could not quite figure it out, though she'd devoted many hours to contemplation of that fact.
Drawing her head back, the silver-furred hybrid leaned back on her haunches, sighing as she looked at the bibelot embedded into the other canine's face once more. "I would like it if you were happy," she mused, her golden eye shifting to the other canine's paler yellow gaze. This she knew would be a peculiar command for the other canine to accept; Vieira could not force or fake happiness, lest she break her obligation of loyalty to her master. The Centurion's eagle's eye focused on the smaller canine, watching for her reaction to the statement.
