Though she was terrified of Haku, necessity drove her forth. The clan needed her, broke or busted or even half-dead. Gabriel was more than capable, Kaena knew, but her own presence certainly was not detrimental to Inferni, either. Her blood had founded this clan, and she would strengthen it and her progeny until she had no more strength left to give. She had been a fool to leave, but she had been more foolish still to have thought she could have lead this clan—hadn't she already proven herself an impotent Aquila? Kaena was not normally one to contemplate herself; arrogance and cocky self-confidence in her younger years had led her to only rarely question herself. Now she was older, and the silver-shaded coyote found herself with quite a bit more time to think. Left to her own devices, the hybrid had little else to entertain herself with aside from herself.
At the very first word there was a visible change in the scarred woman, something like a shudder running down her spine. Her lip twitched as if raising in an invisible snarl at the mention of the man, though rather than rage or anger, there was only fear in the gesture. Fear and anger were intertwined, of course, and one could easily be mistaken for the other with the right amount of bravado. Though the hybrid did not know Tayui very well or her children, she understood the fear very, very well—some strange instinct almost drove her forward to offer a consoling nuzzle, but it was clear from the pallid wolf that this was useless in the moment. Vengeance was something Kaena understood very well, and her mouth formed into a thin line at the request. “I'm sorry,” she said, genuinely—she knew what it was like to lose a child, and she also knew there was nothing she could say that would even begin to help.
“He will die—soon. He does not have a pack to protect him anymore,” the scarred woman said, certain of this. He had become the hunted, and he would not be able to stay away from Inferni forever—when he came, they would tear him to pieces.
