we're both slow, so we can call it even XD
Her family was something the woman clearly took pride in. It was interesting how some could care less about blood ties and to some it was one of the most important things in the world. Family mattered so much to some and so little to others. Onus had never truly had a family and so he could not understand that strong attachment, at least not on a personal level. He could comprehend why more normal creatures valued it. From their very first moments families gave them love the protection, support and guidance. That was how families were supposed to act, of course there were many that didn't. Almost more interesting though, was the clearly dichotomous nature in the Lykoi female. Without having to ask, he knew that she had taken many lives. Those stories were written all over her. Despite that, she also brought life into this world, many lives apparently. The coyote believed that he was only on this Earth to take lives, so her ability to have both in her nature was fascinating to the man.
A question came to him and he found it impossible to contain. Kaena knew nothing of the situation in which he currently found himself and he could not guess that she would have an answer for him, but being experienced in the world and a parent made her a good candidate. "Have you ever cared for children not your own? Or even children beget of a vanquished enemy?" If they also belonged to one you love, he thought to himself, unable to voice the words out loud. While he had no reason to believe that she was untrustworthy, he had only just met her. Him asking such a question from a relative stranger was surprising enough, he could not spell out his situation so clearly. But perhaps she would have advice. Anu had told him that she loved her adopted children with all her being and believed that he was capable of this as well. Onus still was unsure though. These children would be the spawn of the most evil creature he had ever come across, there was no guarantee that they would not be tainted with that same darkness.
At another of her scarred smiles he almost found himself smirking back. There was a quality about the hybrid he found he could instantly relate to. He believed that they had many things in common, intangible things. Surely there were many differences as well, but for him to find anyone he felt a sort of mirror to was rare indeed. "Yes. Suppose they can," he agreed sincerely. The coyote knew it to be true. Cwmfen, and his feelings for her, had been a complete surprise to him. He had thought to spend his whole life along, thinking himself incapable of such deep and binding emotions as love. Yet he had found it and now never wished to be apart from her.
