Ouroboros Spine hard time forgetting, even harder forgiving

I apologize for the long wait on this! ;-;

Would things not have been the way they were, there was little doubt that Sinaaq would have taken offense to her implication that he did nothing. For as contrary to popular belief as it might have been Sinaaq put much stock into hard work and had no issue with giving as much as he received in return; but of course Cara had given him nothing and thus, Sinaaq had given her nothing in return with little but contempt and dark rejoinders as an extra. Contempt and sass were not something that Sinaaq Arrluk had ever really lacked at, but it felt increasingly sanctifying pissing Cara off with it — never mind that it would soon become abundantly clear that she didn't care that she was rid of him. Good riddance. He had no respect for mediocre wolves who played pretend at knowing what they were doing; and no tolerance for those who feigned righteousness because they thought they earned it. Hypocritical as they may have been.

“If I had believed you would leave things as Cara had, if I thought you were the same type of woman I would have left,” It was true enough. Despite that Sinaaq had felt a small sliver of intrigue towards Cara it had quickly twisted into something malicious and contemptuous. No, Sinaaq, despite not knowing her well enough to make factual judgments, did not think that the new Spine Queen was anything like her predecessor.
