Valentine threw his paw over her - not difficult, considering the difference in their heights - and drew her into a hug - also not difficult, since as he did so she threw herself against him partly to revel in the sensation and partly in a playful and likely ultimately doomed attempt to topple the much larger Valentine. When his words sunk in, she faltered a step before she recovered herself. A surprising flicker of anger seared through her - Rhythm? She'd dared come back after the trouble she'd caused Valentine and his family? Her disappearance had been what caused Valentine to abandon his pack to find her and his children. It had been what had dropped Imperium in Cascade's incredibly unsuitable paws, and she had faltered and failed Valentine, and the pack had dissolved. Cas had never really forgiven herself for that, and she'd never forgiven Rhythm for causing the whole fiasco either. So to know that she was back, that she would be once again holding Valentine back from what he was and could be, well... But for whatever inexplicable reason, Valentine loved Rhythm. He'd never really allowed any insult to her, and except for a brief time when Rhythm had taken a slave's side over his it had seemed she could do no wrong in his eyes. It had taken Cascade a long time to earn back his trust and friendship after she'd misstepped by kidnapping Rhythm from Abaven behind his back. The last thing she wanted was to open her admittedly filter-less mouth and waste what brief time she had with him angry at her, so Cascade bit down hard on her memories, choked back whatever comments she might have made, and just flashed him a grin. "That never stopped you before, did it?" she said teasingly, sliding up to nip playfully at his ear. "Hell just claim the pretty little thing is your nurse and play the feeble old man. Might even gain sympathy points from Rhythm, and what Rhythm doesn't know won't hurt her." She kept her tone light and joking for Valentine's benefit. Dude was probably getting enough drama in his life already if Rhythm was around again, without his dreams adding to it. She lowered her voice to a conspiratorial whisper. "I hear there's this really fun boat where all the cool kids bring their dates to get frisky." She winked. "Talk" "You" Think |
