Raleska had not lost the skull she had found and shown @Nieve. It stayed within her den most days, but occasionally Raleska could be found overturning the bone in her paws and staring into one of its darkened sockets outside. Usually when the weather was warm she would move sluggishly from her isolated den to the outer edges of the rendezvous, watching those that passed within in silence.

Today, a shadow loomed over her as she twirled the skull within her paws. Mistaking it first for cloudy gloom, Raleska was startled as teeth followed, snapping at the skull she had pried (literally) from the Grotto in Ankyra.

Raleska's reaction was -- well, reactionary. She stood upright suddenly, her fur bristling and eyes hardened. Her voice was sharp, edged by hysteria even, as she snapped back in Reyes' face in response. "WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU?!" All she knew was she had been minding her own business alone, and Reyes had come swaggering towards her in dominant posturing, trying to take one of the few things Raleska had left to remember her mother by.
