Step One: Meeting

Keahi watches Adelina as the woman talks, bright blue eyes watching the nervous slave. Again, she states she was born to slavers and a red brow slowly lifts at the emphasis placed on the last word. However, she remains silent, allowing the woman to clarify the situation so that the tropical born wolf can better understand it. Surprise ripples across her features at the mention of Zee and the small gasp that escapes the slave has the red woman’s attention sharpening.

The wheels are spinning turn in her head as she shuts down the emotions that try to swell, determined to hear Adelina out. Silence falls, the seconds straining as Keahi ties the threads together. Finally, she slowly blows out a breath before gently saying, “Sirius knows.” Blue eyes search Adelina’s features at the statement, trying to gauge the fear that she has of the Warlord.

For the red woman, she has just learned an awful side of the kind wolf she knows. But she does not think about that right now and, instead, tries to gently prod the woman as she asks, “Is that why you refuse to fight? Do you feel that you deserve the abuse that has been given to you?” Anger boils within the woman at the treat that poor Adelina has been through but she tempers it, not allowing it to show on her features.
