Perhaps it was natural for a creature raised to be subservient to disconnect him or herself from notions of family and love. For a moment Kaena pitied Viei immensely; it would seem what little family she did keep hadn't been good to her at all. That was hardly a new revelation to the hybrid woman, who had to assume her treatment of the coyote was much improved over anything Astaroth had done to her. She remained quiet for this, sorry she'd treaded on one of the other canine's sore spots, though it should have been obvious to Kaena. The sun-colored canine poked at the fish flesh with the knife, setting it down once more. "It's the same with my mother," she said, sharing a little bit of herself with Vieira. Kaena could just barely remember what the woman looked like. Kaena had hardly spent two months of her life with Delphine, and she was lucky for it; longer and she would have died for sure. The hybrid had learned most of her mother's history definitively through her father confirming what she'd picked out of the woman's incoherent ramblings, filling in the holes for Kaena where things had been nonsensical or faded with age. The other coyote added the final statement, causing the hybrid's sable ears to fall half-mast. "I'm sure he's paid for his crimes," the hybrid said, wondering just how much Vieira (or anyone, really) knew about Astaroth's death. Kaena hadn't bothered to keep it a secret upon returning here; he was another vanquished enemy to her. She contemplated telling the Quintus plainly as she'd done with Samael and Razekiel, but this was not her child. Kaena had no obligation to be truthful toward her, and the hybrid felt it would be good to keep this knowledge to herself. |
