here take it

Hati wandered off to sulk, as she'd hoped he would, and Cascade waited - staring brightly at the smaller girl - until all trace of Hati's presence was gone and the silence rang around them. Her demeanor changed... no longer empty headed and childish she fixed Rhythm with a hawk-eyed stare - though her smile remained. "I blackmailed Hati into kidnapping you for me." She cocked her head to the side, curious how Rhythm would react to this. What kind of a wolf would she prove to be? "Valen dared me to try to steal you away from him. He should know me well enough by now to know better than to dare me to do anything but, well, you know how guys are. So here's the deal, Rhythm. I have no interest in stealing you from Valentine. Who Valen fucks is his own business and none of mine yes?" She quirked her brow in the girl's direction suggestively before continuing. Not that she thought Valen and this girl had, mind you.

"I'm just here to... facilitate for my..." Her what? Her mind shuffled through and rejected several possible descriptives before settling on "... my friend." She swept Rhythm critically with her gaze. "I mean you're pretty enough but I expect you're awful pampered. Entitled. You're the type that would put a shackle on the poor boy and I can't have that. He's never going to reach his potential with you clinging to his legs and dragging him down you know. You belong to him, Rhythm dear - but he doesn't belong to you."

There was nothing but pleasantness in her voice, her manner as she spoke. Nothing of threat or aggression. But she also clearly wasn't looking for a discussion here. She had bigger fish to fry in this - she lazily threw back her head and issued an inviting howl beckoning the alpha of the pack to join them.
