Had she been too wrapped around her own drama to notice this at all? The thought was indeed depressing. She was a hideously egocentric creature, but she did not want to be around the Russian luperci. It was not that she pretended to care for him, it was just that she was not.. used to it. Where there signs she should have seen before? It was strange, for despite their apparent attraction to each other they were gifted in the art of unintentionally avoiding each other. Or perhaps it was intentional from his side. She did not know and she knew better than to dwell with that possibility. He had told her that he did not hate her, which should be enough. The Lykoi woman did not really know how to trust, but she tried her best for him. Silas deserved that much.

Ruby followed her fingers, very slowly brushing deeper against the rich, dark fur. She looked back to the male’s handsome face, relieved that he did not shy away from her simple touch. He let her know that he had been close to his family and she was disappointed to hear. She had never met anyone from Silas’ family. Never expressed interest about them either. She should have tried to be more considerate. She gave a shy nod as he explained how things had been. It brought back memories of their first meeting with the Russian sitting in the tree. A smile almost broke through to her lips, but she managed to hold it back, knowing that Silas was hurting. The Lykoi was glad to find that disgust did not take over at the fact that Silas had family in a wolf pack. Things were different now, and she would do well to put her racism away for more worthwhile things.

A slight flush caressed her warm copper cheeks as he managed to smile about her son’s wellbeing. How strange it was—here she had expected him to turn away in disgust with the knowledge that she had given birth to a bastard child. Soft cherry gaze focused on the smile on his lips and she felt her face respond immediately with an additional splash of warmth. A nod was given at the male’s question. Itachi was growing just a little bit taller every time she saw him. She wondered if his size would further disturb the coyote in him. His features quietly spoke of his sire’s blood, and the woman hated it. ”Yes, he’s growing up so fast,” she smiled, though she was not certain if she was comfortable with that thought. Exactly when would the sand coloured boy start to hate her?

The Russian’s gaze had abandoned hers, but ruby remained on his face, studying the contrasts of colours that she was now much more comfortable with than she had dared to hope she could ever be the first time she had laid eyes upon him. How glad she was that he had joined Inferni and not Cour des Miracles. A question had been asked and her copper ears perked to take in his soft voice. ”I’ve been okay.” Things were looking better and she had been fine. Just fine, but nothing more either. Despite hearing about the sad changes in the male’s life, she felt better than she had in a while. Her hand on his back seemed misplaced now, for it remained despite the change of topic. Did it mean that he didn’t wish to talk about himself and his family or that he did not think she was interested?

His smile faltered a bit, but the warmth remained. ”I’m here if you want to talk about it, you know,” she breathed, astonished by the fact that she meant it. He did not deserve to carry sadness in his ice blue eyes. Her palm remained against his dark fur regardless and she increased the pressure for just a moment, as if to underline her words. She wanted him to know that he could tell her everything, good or bad.
