Totoka River right down the line

Rosalyn smiled with a small shake of her head as Kaertok answered with just a single word.  She could forgive it, but he didn't seem to understand the gravity of the question.  Rosalyn put (far too much) weight on her opinion of him when it came to her daughter, a relationship that Kaertok might not be privy to, but one she took extremely seriously.  She didn't like that he'd apparently come before and left.  Men leaving was nothing new... and it was not a pattern she'd ever seen change.  She highly doubted he would be the first of his kind to prove her wrong.

Interesting, then.  She's never spoken of you.  Did you know one another well?

Normally not one to pry, in this one instance, Rosalyn began to edge upon breaking her rules.  If it chased him away then he did not deserve her... but the pirate would test him.  She wanted to know his role in Raleska's life, what he was and what he hoped to become.  She might not be under any misconceptions of forcing Raleska's hand, but she was for damn sure entitled to an opinion on it.
