In her youth she had spent the most time with her father and Corona, but of course she hadn't seen either of them for years now. At first when she had returned it seemed as though she and her mother might finally be able to connect on a deeper level, but she highly doubted that now. Rikka still needed to talk to her about the subject of Vieira and slavery in general but she had a sinking feeling that her concerns and arguments would fall on the deaf ears of her mother. Kaena had always had a very skewed view on right and wrong, if any view at all. Gabriel turned away from her and her ears dipped back once again. What had she been expecting though? For him to welcome her back with open arms? What little she knew about her brother, she knew that he was not the type to be so forgiving. For a moment she was about to turn and leave him to whatever he was doing, but then she remembered the glance she had had of what was in his lap and curiosity came back to her. Slowly she walked a little closer to him, craning her neck in an attempt to see what it was. "May I ask what it was you were doing? Before I interrupted you?" she asked somewhat timidly. Hopefully he wouldn't think she was prying. |
