431. You guys can keep going! We can OOCly assume later either Cass or Amos found Kae to actually tell her about Amos's skills. XD She is just awkwardpants. ;3

There was little harshness left in the old woman. She was an austere presence, certainly, but much of her youthful vigor and rage had faded with the long years. Instead, it had been replaced with an overwhelming coldness—Kaena Lykoi did not care one single ounce for all the rest of the world save her family, her clan, and those rare few outside of it who made a lasting impression. Impulse and anger no longer drove her to rip flesh from bone, but this was not to say she befriended every wolf she now came across—they were still, of course, regarded as the enemy, but now the hybrid did not seek to destroy them so readily. Perhaps this was self-preservation in action; certainly, bodily aging did not escape the old hybrid's notice, and she surely realized her own diminished strength.

It would seem this canine was in a similar predicament; there was a gentle elderliness about him, a quiet reservedness the hybrid woman immediately picked up on. His speech was slow, laced with a saccharine drawl she could not possibly have placed. “Yes, in fact,” she answered, surprised at the familial connection between this old-timer and the mottled brown coyote who currently occupied the Aedile's position. Before she could add more, however, Cassius himself emerged and made his way immediately toward his father, embracing the older man with a gleaming wetness in his violet eyes. The silvery hybrid did not comment; she could hardly sneer at this display of affection considering the ones she tried to carve between herself and her own family.

The pair seemed wrapped into one another, and the coyote realized she might be audience to a much-needed reunion after lengthy absences in each others' lives. Remaining quiet a few moments longer, the hybrid eventually cleared her throat, stepping forward to make herself known. “I don't mean to interrupt,” she offered gently. A genuine happiness for the pair had crept over her, and she was not keen on ruining the mood of such an occasion. Even so, business was immensely important, and she could not possibly leave it untended. “No reason to stand around asking questions on my end, so, welcome to Inferni,” she offered, a faint smile perched on her scarred muzzle. “I'll leave it to you to show your father around, Cass,” she said, tilting her scarred head forward. She made her leave, turning and heading back to her cave. There was nothing pressing for her there, but her presence here was not necessary; she could see this plainly from the way the pair interacted.
