"You would let him kill an innocent pup? He was crazed, Rio. You should know that better than anyone" She spat back. Apparently it was time to stop treating her daughter like the delicate thing that she had been; the girl was not seeing reason, and it was Naniko's job to change her attitude. There were consequences for a canine's actions in their pack, and death was the most severe...but it had been earned. The boy had maimed Scorpius and had nearly killed one of Larkspur's pups before they had put him out of his misery.
The girl was definitely angry with her, but she simply stared back at her. Teenaged dramatics were not something that interested her; she would rather let the girl storm off and think things through for herself than go after her. She did call down the hallway after Rio, however. - "He would have done it to someone else, Rio. He was a monster.". Whether it reached the dramatic canine's ears or not, she would not know. Rio would get over things in time, she felt, if she was able to put enough thought into the matter. Harlowe had earned his punishment twice over and Naniko had no regrets.
