Merrily we fall out of line

Uh oh. It went without saying that Ruin had gotten into trouble before but her Ma had never ever once said her name like that. Her black ears flicked back as her mismatched eyes widened, her mind scrambling to come up with some sort of excuse but try as she might none came to mind. None that would get her out of this sticky mess anyway. It'd take some time before her lies-for the most part- got convincing, for now they were empty and weightless. Just silly things a child would say just because she could. She eeped as her mother scooped her up and away from the edge and she hung limp in her mother's grip till she was placed back on the ground, at a safe distance from the edge.

It was a little weird that Ma pretty much ignored her from then on and instead shifted her focus to dark stranger. Even more harsh words slipped from Ma's mouth and Ruin watched with rapt interest, her eyes gleaming as she glanced from one wolf to the next. Did they know each other? It kinda seemed so. Who was she? And what was an Empire? As it turned out they were sisters, like Suspense was Ruin's. They didn't seem to like each other much though, or was that simply a side effect of being a boring adult? Ruin loved her family so so much but adults were just so serious all the time, like they had better things to do than be victims of her little schemes. Boring. And then the-extra- boring lady seemed to grow tired of their meeting, claiming she needed to go and yadda yadda. Stuff Ruin didn't really care to listen to.

There was one word that stuck out to the little Cavaliere-Klein. One she just felt she had to repeat.

"Fuckin' bye!!!"Ruin hoped up onto her hind legs and called after the lady, not hiding her smarmy, cheeky little grin.
