No worries, so am I. :] It are the holidays, everyone's busy! Happy holidays, too. XD <3
The silver-furred hybrid could not truly understand the Razekiel the world had given back to her, but that did not make her love him any less. It was a true miracle that he'd returned at all; after his disappearance Kaena had figured he had died or decided living with his family or in contact with them at all was beyond him. For a while she'd even suspected Astaroth of taking off with him, picking him up and swooping off in the night—but on the sable-furred coyote's return, the hybrid had shattered that myth. No, Astaroth hadn't seen Razekiel, and even if he had, how would the coyote have known what his son even looked like?
The ash-furred Centurion smiled faintly at his statement, nodding in silent agreement. Time away from Inferni had done them all good, it would seem—Gabriel had grown up the most on the far side of the world, and her own time away from the clan had educated her regarding more human ways of life. One wouldn't be able to call the canines of the Malai Ratree perfectly civilized, but they'd certainly been able to teach Kaena a lot. Rangi in particular had been her teacher, and that strange hybrid had imparted to Kaena a wealth of knowledge on the use of human technology.
"It's good to remember there's a world beyond the borders," the hybrid said, thinking of herself even as she spoke those words. How long had it been now since she'd wandered outside of Inferni just for grins? It felt like it had been months and months. The darker-furred canine spoke again, and the hybrid gave him a funny look until the punchline, where she laughed her raspy sort of laugher, shaking her head. Celibacy certainly didn't make sense to her. "Any luck in the grandchildren department for me?" she teased lightly, figuring of all her children, it would be least sensible to figure this free spirit had settled down any.
