Skip me / Do not factor Raleska into the post order. I just wanted to take advantage of the open/group thread theme RUS has. <3 Raleska can be PP'd by any of the RUS wolves that pop in.
Raleska was not so far behind her mother, having stalked the Sound's matriarch with an unusually surly dedication. Truth be told, Raleska had noticed her mother's indifference to her as of late, and was now vying hard to regain her favor. It was as if all of the love Caiaphas could afford was being eeked out to all of her stray children, doled and rationed out bit by bit until nothing at all was left for her only Eyjolfur girl.
Or at least, that's how it felt to Raleska.. and young girls certainly had a penchant for being dramatic.
She wasn't in favor of following her mother all day, and was about to pull off to do more exciting things when a howl called through the woods and her dam went bustling after it. Curious to see how this would play out, Raleska too turned for the borders. She was surprised to find not only her mother, but Tunerk there: the girl spared her a snippy glance, but nothing more.
In the most clinical way she could, Raleska set to studying this strange figure at their doorstep. He was quite big -- she remembered her father vividly, and Vaati might have rivaled his height. He was white, and heavily scarred -- but what Raleska thought most curious about him was the way his mother addressed him.
Hungrily her gaze raked Caiaphas' features, extracting any visual clues she could about their history. For a young girl, she was intrepid - but her mother's face showed little besides a light contempt (usual) and perhaps, a hidden shade of pain (a little unusual). Raleska's lips pursed in displeasure, unknowingly imitating the very expression her mother was prone to make.
There was something about Vaati that compelled Raleska to be careful around him. It wasn't that he was a stranger, or even that he was big - tons of strangers had come through Rusalka's doors, and the girl had only spared them a customary glance. But this man, to Raleska, held an air of danger -- as a teen it was both titillating and terrifying to her.
Raleska found she was almost too curiously staring at the empyrean figure; carefully, she looked away and practiced casually glancing from her mother to the stranger. All the while ignoring Tunerk, of course - for no reason other than that she was a frosty, spoiled bitch that was mad her mother paid attention to girls other than her.
all of which makes me anxious,
at times unbearably so.
