mall-caps;">In Character Happy moments? The Lykoi matron considered this thoughtfully for a few minutes, and as her mind focused on one, that bitterness had disappeared from her features. Her mother's horror had died with her, and Kaena was too glad she had been able to avoid inflicting the same abuse on her own children. They were the light of her life, truly; if it weren't for them she would not have returned to this place, ever. Inferni or not, it was family that had dragged her back here from the other side of the country. And now, even, seeing her genes further propagated with her grandchildren. A grin crossed her lips, and she nudged him with her shoulder. "Of course," she said, that smile and her behavior indicating he was one of those happy moments—or things—that made it worth it. The hybrid woman nodded, her mind flickering unhappily to the rains that had drenched them the last few weeks. She was glad this morning was relatively dry save for the usual dewy moistness that accompanied the early hours. Yellowed tips of her canines showed to him, and she peered at the sky. "True," she said, shrugging. It was an annoyance and a hindrance occasionally, but the hybrid woman had never allowed the weather to affect her mood much. "I don't even mind the rain so much," she said, shrugging her coal shoulders. "But it's good to be dry for a day," the hybrid added. The silver coyote looked at her grandson, again taking in his wolfish appearance. It didn't matter—he was her flesh and blood all the same, the child of her child. Ahren's blood flowed in him, anyway. At least a quarter of his wolf heritage could be attributed to the de le Poers, and it didn't matter to Kae where the other half had come from. It didn't matter what his mother was, even. The pale hybrid had chosen Inferni, and in Kaena's eyes that trumped his canis lupus appearance by far. The silver canine's features shifted again, a smile gracing those scarred features. |
