She wasn't wholly anything, just a mutt. Part wolf part coyote and even part dog. Honestly, she kind of liked being such a mixed breed. There had been plenty of quiet internal conflicts over this fact in her youth, but she had come to accept who she was and at the very least she was at peace with herself. How she fit into her family and the clan was still something she had trouble figuring out and it might never be something clear and stable. Now that she was accepting of what and who she was though, hopefully figuring out the other connections would come easier. Her brother's gaze unnerved her, but she stood her ground waiting for what would come next. If he told her to leave him alone then she would, but that was not what she wanted. They might never be close but she wanted the chance to at least to get to know him better. The same blood flowed through both their veins and she felt that for that, if no other reason, they owed it one another to try and connect in some way or another. When he spoke again the edge was gone, and she smiled at him tentatively. "That's the plan." Though plans could always change, and so she wasn't about to make any promises. It was her intent to stay, but there were many forces outside of her control that could change her ability to do that. Rikka was going to try her hardest though. |
