It's not a phase, DAD

Potema stared at this man that she was absolutely positively sure was her father, only to have that idea crushed. This was not a mistaken identity case — his features were too distinct to confuse with anyone else —, it was a case of abandonment and lost memories, on both sides.

She looked up at those white eyes she once smiled at, and snarled, her brow furrowing and teeth baring in disgust and hatred. "You would be shit at it anyway." She snapped, the turmoil of emotions inside her bubbling over into anger rather than sadness. She had awaited this day for so long, to see her father once more and be reunited with him, and to bring him back to the Woods both as a Dark Brother, but as father of Meldresi's children. That had all been shattered now, and she was left with some wolf that looked and smelled like her father, but was weak compared to the Bane she knew. Whoever this was, he was pathetic. "I don't know what I was hoping for, but you're definitely not my father. I should have seen it from the start."
