Lucia had been so wrapped up in her anger that she hadn't even noticed that she and Cambria weren't alone anymore until Mati suddenly stepped between them. Jade eyes blinked in confusion, and for the briefest moment she was tempted to push past the figure be within clear sight of the chocolate-coated woman again, until she realized that it was her half-sister that had stepped between them. Her anger faltered for a moment as she blinked up at the towering form of her Dreamer sibling. Mati's warning and the beginnings of a growl that coated her words were enough to both make the sandy-furred girl flinch and stoke the fires of her anger nearly back to full force. She stiffened, but allowed her twisted snarl to soften after taking a step back.
The Valley wolf tried to look past Mati toward the girl she had been arguing with, catching a glimpse of her hugging herself and averting her gaze. The sight brought the beginnings of a half-grin to her lips, but it faltered as soon as she looked back to her half-sibling. She felt the sudden need to explain herself, but found it difficult to find the words for how she felt. "I..." She sighed in frustration. The argument played back through her head, and she hardly seemed to notice when her eyes squeezed shut and her hands balled tightly into fists at her side. "She... She was talking about momma," she said, straining to keep her voice calm. "I couldn't just..." The defense sounded flimsy even to her own ears.
