She needed to talk to Kaena about it because it bothered her so much she wasn't sleeping well at night, constantly tossing and turning. Honestly she was afraid though. Afraid that her mother wouldn't listen and wouldn't see what was wrong with what she was doing. It wasn't as if this was the first thing that her mother had done that she had found distasteful and she worried that Kaena would just pass it off as one of her daughter's quirks. It wasn't, not this time, owning another was just plain not right. Even if she wouldn't necessarily "free" Vieira she needed to treat her no different than anyone else. The poor thing didn't deserve to live in constant fear. The silver and gold hybrid walked with her arms crossed against her chest, her canvas pack bouncing against her hip. Every time she took a step the zils on her tambourine jingled, but she was too consumed with her thoughts over the indentured coyote to have it cheer her as it normally did. What did the other clan members think? She was the most curious to know her brother's perception of this. He was in charge, and maybe if Rikka couldn't convince their mother to ease up on her own Gabriel could make her. She really had no idea what her brother was like anymore though. It had been so long and she hadn't run into him yet since returning. A loud sneeze brought her out of her contemplation and her golden eyes searched the vicinity. She was looking at the back of him, and so it took her a moment or two (plus his scent drifting towards her) to realize that it was her sibling. Rikka swallowed nervously and unbidden the names he had called her those years ago resounded between her ears. The female shook her head, willing them away. That was a long time ago. Carefully she started to walk closer to him, looking him over curiously. "Gabriel?" |
