The two adults kept looking and talking between themselves, their attention on each other thickening with every word. It was all Kahina could do to keep her lips covering her fangs. It was as though they were forgetting her. Again. Her father had told her she was something special and not to take anything less. They had called her here to teach her. Now they were prattling on with each other.At least until Boneskull attacked her.

Kahina’s retaliation was swift. Their entire childhoods fighting and snarling at each other made the defence and attack automatic. He lunged for her and she was instantly on her feet. Teeth bared and legs wide apart it was second before she realized lunging back at her brother was probably ill advised in the presence of the two adults. Instead of biting him in vengeance, Kahina was forced to settle for growling her own warning. She could do what she wanted. He could attack her if he wanted. But his actions would have equal consequences with her retribution.

She was still fuming at her brother and annoyed at their attention towards him when Belhara’s throery about his stomach was voice. Settling onto her on her stomach, she smirked behind her paws. Of course he had worms. The moron probably ate someone else poop. Or something rotting. He was an idiot. Why he was even here, she would never know. Why her father chose to let him live, she had even less of an understanding. It had been clear Aranck hated his defective sons. All of his defected children, really. Which was why she had been prized so highly. As far as she was concerned, she was the only one of her sibling who deserved to continue to carry his blood. Eyes narrowed. She could fix this somehow.

For now she flicked her attention back to Belhara and looked up on command from her spot on the ground. If they could, her eyes would have narrowed even more. This was silliness. The stars did not say anything. They just shined from the sky every day as if there was nothing better to do. Much like her. She shined on the earth and had been given nothing better to do after the murder of her father. Now her ears flattened against her skull. Just light. words mumbled from her lips. With a huff, she put a little more effort into her answer. Glancing up, she studied them for a moment. And a smear of them. She indicated a large cluster of stars and what looked like glittering dust across the entire sky. A galaxy that revolved around them.
