Welcome to Gaia! ::

"I doubt they would be willing to side with me over one of their own no matter how much they may or may not hate Shiva, but I suppose it is not too much to ask that we at least try and curve their mindset. Might be able to make an ally out of them." Riko said looking down at Elle thoughtfully. "Stranger things have happened." She commented thoughtfully.

"However that is going off the hope that they don't try and kill us on sight."

"What do you think?" Riko asked making a face at Siobahn. "I don't know what is wrong with you guys, why you all want to sit around and talk about me, its really annoying.

"You know the only part I actually don't get is why in the hel people go out of there way to try and talk with me, when I make it very clear that the last thing I want to do is talk about it." Riko said, getting annoyed. "I thought at first that maybe they just didn't know, but now I know that can't be the case because even you want to talk about it now." Riko mumbled.

"Let me tell you something I've heard once, somewhere on the internet Elle." Riko said once she was alone, having ran Siobahn off. "They say that Pain and Sadness are like the spices that make life exciting, and for a while all I could get were spices, but I'm better now, I'm finally getting better, but still all people want to talk about are the spices." Riko said, sounding frustrated now.

"Can't get made at them, because the spice is the most interesting part of any dish, but it hurts for it to be the focal point of everything, when there is so much more to be talked about." Riko admitted, looking down at Elle, the little girl raised her hands and placed them firmly on Riko's cheek bones squeezing them individually and grinning, Riko sighed and returned the grin. "It's ok to be sad sometimes, and it is okay to not always want to talk about it. Sometimes you just need to get over things your own way.".

"I can only imagine how good of a job you did fixing that lock." Riko mused, she pretended that she was absently musing, but her comment was as direct as any of the others she had made in her life. Mercy didn't seem to be paying much attention to her though, she was talking with Elle, informing the little girl and Riko as well that they would be aiding her in cooking. Riko snorted at that, she'd be damned if she was going to run around the kitchen like some wannabe chef. She didn't even eat normal food most of the time. She rolled her eyes, and pretended not t be there until Mercy called for her to bring Elle into the kitchen. Sighing again, she stood, and followed.

"Won't have to." Riko said with an easy shrug, she was going to comment on Mercy trying to feed Elle so much, so early. The girl had teeth sure, and they were very sharp, and pierced skin with the utmost ease, but damn. "I'm raising her, she'll know to keep away from outright d**k heads, and when she finally does let someone in, she'll kick their a** herself if they mess around." Riko said confidently. "But I guess you could maul the corpse she leaves behind."

"Yes, we are raising her together, but If we were to pick gender roles, I would be the father, and I think this is more up my ally anyway, and I think you would agree no?" Riko acquired, bouncing Elle up and down on her knee, she looked off to the side and tried to appear wholly uninterested when Mercy brought up the corpse mauling comment, and while the wolf ranted, Riko scratched the back of her ear absently. "All dogs have their feral days Mercy, no need to get all excited." Riko excused. "And of course you'll have wisdom to give her, just on different....less important.....things. Like- nevermind."

"You say that, but as I remember it, you were drunkly begging me to screw you. Now you may call that seducing if you want, but I find something inherently wrong with you teaching our daughter to get drunk and throw herself at people, so I think we will leave all those lessons to me." Riko snorted. "Also, if I am correct, it was my smooth tongue that even lead us to that point."
