At least it was making her think and reconsider things, but whether or not this conversation would have any lasting effect...well, only time would tell. Usually she was patient, but she didn't know how long she could sit by and watch something like this go on before things started to improve. At first it had seemed like coming back wouldn't be so tough, but that had only been the calm before the storm. Things here were so very different from what she had grown accustomed to in the commune and it was all becoming a great strain on the hybrid. She had loved her life there and here, for the moment at least, she felt disgusted and turned off from everything. Perhaps Kaena was being truthful, but the younger woman was still suspicious and kept her hard gaze trained on the matron. At first she wasn't sure how to respond to the bad mother comment. Kaena hadn't been a great mother by any means, but she hadn't been a very bad one either. The two almost never agreed on anything, though that wasn't necessarily anyone's fault. "You don't think of her as your child though." It was true. For whatever she was, the ashen hybrid would never force her own children into bondage and servitude. Claiming that she cared for Vieira as she might her own child was preposterous. Perhaps one day it could be true, but she did not see such a thing now. "I don't believe that," she responded darkly. Maybe no one was entirely pure, but that didn't mean that no one was innocent. Anyone who got hurt unjustly was an innocent victim in her eyes. Obviously Kaena didn't think that, but there was one thing that even she would have a problem denying (or so Rikka believed). "Pups are innocent. Vieira has the mindset of a pup. She is innocent." Nothing would make the golden-hued hybrid believe otherwise. |
