:O Apparently, I suck. |:
The hybrid woman often did not consider her size. It was of little concern to her, and if she had known the old adage about the size of the fight in the dog, it would have been a favorite of hers. She had often squared up against opponents some-odd times her size, and perhaps thanks to her smaller size, agility, or simple ferocity, she'd come out on top. There were plenty of times there was no clear winner. There was only two times the hybrid thought she'd lost, and once it was thanks to her own audacity and nothing else. Kaena had deserved to die for traipsing on pack lands, and perhaps she'd known that even sauntering across their border, but the Clouded Tears alpha saw it fit to spare her. The hybrid hadn't asked why, but she'd made damn sure to leave Clouded Tears well enough alone after that, at least, and she'd not been stupid enough to trespass on claimed lands again. Kaena couldn't quite square what had happened with Haku as a fight situation, but in her head it was still a loss. It was a fight she hadn't fought, and that was twice as bad as any loss she could sustain.
The silver-furred coyote half-lidded her own golden eye, casting it down to the earth beneath her feet, the scratched and barren dirt beneath Gabriel's tawny paws, anything but the burning, melting gaze of her son. She had seen the suspicion there and now she wanted nothing more than to hide from it. What could she give him to throw it off, how could she mislead him, draw him away from the scent of what was really bothering her? Vieira jumped to mind, but the coyote could not imagine her golden-furred son approving of that relationship, and she did not think she could handle being berated or questioned or anything other than loved at the moment. "No," she said, rather simply, trying to play the part she was so used to. Stoic, strong... but it had faded in her mind, that person that she used to be. The silvery coyote could no longer recall her, and she could only shrug her coal-furred shoulders, a somewhat nervous smile flickering across her face for an instant before dying down again. "Thought maybe I should try to make things better again," the hybrid muttered, thinking maybe refocusing on their particular issues might distract Gabriel away from the real issues.
