If possible Halo’s eyes hardened even more and while the next response was long delayed the woman knew better than to try and interrupt the younger canine’s train of thought. This meeting was already going poorly and annoying the girl further would do nothing to help things. So Rikka watched her niece curiously trying to decipher her. She didn’t think she’d ever met another creature that was so young and so full of hate and anger. Perhaps Gabriel had been, but her brother had been witness to truly horrible events and had spent time alone when he should have been surrounded by family. Had similar events befallen the hybrid before her? Was that why her heart was so constricted? It almost hurt the peaceful fey to see someone so consumed by negative feelings for she had never been close to being in such a state. She had felt anger before and resentment, but never to such high degrees, and while she didn’t always agree with her parents she did not hate them and would never purposefully do anything to cause them harm.
When her niece finally replied to her query Rikka listened to the answer and began to digest it. Unsurprisingly she did not find the reason for Vitium’s banishment so repulsive as his daughter did. Rikka didn’t let that on though, knowing such an admission would bring her nothing but trouble and likely the same kind of loathing from the girl who stood before her. The second thing though, well, that was certainly something to despise. Rape was a thing that Rikka could not abide. No one should take a thing that should only be given. Then to steal the children away from the mother, that was even more heinous. It was curious though that Halo only referred to her supposed mother as a “wolf”. For one it meant the girl was not as coyote as she appeared. In fact she would be even less coyote than Rikka. Secondly though while she seemed to hate her father for stealing her she seemed to hold even less sympathy for her mother, probably by simply being a wolf. It was clear to her now that Halo was the perfect little daughter of Inferni, something the woman found more sad than anything else.
“I suppose that would be more than enough reason to hate him.” She was referring mostly to the rape and the stealing, but Halo didn’t need to know that.
“Still, if it weren’t for him you wouldn’t have the extended family that you do. Perhaps you can thank him for at least that.” It was clear that she held her Lykoi blood in high regard and if not for Vitium she wouldn’t have that. This notion might enrage her niece more but it was just the way that Rikka looked at the world, always trying to find something positive.
