a dog among kings with no self control

There was a smile from the hybrid, and she nodded in agreement -- Tlantli's appearance would have been much more fitting for a child of Astaroth and Kaena, though she doubted there would be such brilliant colors as those exhibited in the woman's coat. Most of Kaena's children were varying shades of tawny or goldish, true enough, but in most cases, these coats were marred with streaks of black or gray in places. Few were colored quite so brilliantly as Tlantli, either. Then again, the coat colors and patterns in general seemed more brilliant and bright the further south one went -- Eris herself had stuck out like an incredibly sore thumb.

Hadn't it been summer when she had first discussed Kaena's heritage? She seemed stuck on this fact for a moment, attempting to reconcile it with the time she had departed. The hybrid had little real sense of time throughout much of this; she only knew she had arrived in Inferni roughly a year ago, give or take a little bit of time. Before that, things were vague and fuzzy. Her ears twitched at the sound of Tlanti's voice, and she looked at her, relieved to be distracted from her thoughts. “And Baphomet?” she questioned, cautiously. There had been no mention of her other uncle -- while Eris had never been particularly fond of his austere, often-cryptic nature, he had educated her in the ways of the religion, and she begrudgingly accepted his influence.

In the back of the hybrid's mind, there seemed to be a faint cry, some distant vociferation of anguish. There was clear dissonance in her memories -- it had been summer when she'd spoken of Kaena's heritage, and it had been winter when she'd departed from Eterne, dazed and utterly bewildered as to how she'd ended up even outside of the city's center. She ignored it, focusing instead on present company and conversation. There was something monumental lurking just behind that tiny, yelping cry.
