It was practically impossible for her to truly understand Vieira's fear of being punished for something she hadn't done. Kaena could be headstrong at times, but she couldn't imagine her taking her anger out on the girl for something Rikka would say. Maybe if Vieira was a wolf she would be able to see such an outcome, but she wasn't a wolf, she was most clearly a coyote. That made this whole situation even more hard to grasp for her. While she still absolutely would not have agreed with it, if Kaena had decided to accept a slave that was a wolf it would have been easier to understand, but how on earth she was able to accept a slave that was a coyote was beyond her. The girl looked even more coyote than Kaena did herself. Rikka was ignorant to the fact that this had been Vieira's way of life for as long as she could remember, and so that made it all the more difficult for her to understand her. Didn't she want to be free? The other didn't say anything more but she could tell that she was still worried about what could come from her speaking to Kaena about this all. Rikka didn't fool herself into thinking she could convince her mother to not treat the girl as a slave in one encounter, but maybe at the least she could convince her that this was a very dicey thing she was doing and that she deserved an amount of respect and caring. Even in the Lykoi matron wasn't willing to do that, her daughter would be. "Vieira, I don't want to make things worse for you. I only want to help you, to try and make it better. You're no different from anyone else and you don't deserve to have your rights taken away and to be treated like you're less than what you are." All she wanted to do was to help her and to try and make her life better, even if it didn't mean her complete freedom. |
