Vanity Striken

“...I’m late for work.” 

The female brushed past the other, her shoulder pressing against her slightly as she passed over. She didn’t say anything more on the subject, her eyes trained straight ahead, an expressionless look taking over her face. She reached the corner of the house, turning towards the wolf woman that stood in the drive way. “Yer son fell asleep on the couch, he’s probably still there. Doors unlocked, I probably won’t be back until tomorrow…”

“I wouldn’t be going if I didn’t get paid for it. I have lots of other stuff I could be doing rather than going on a field trip.” She had a load of laundry to do, not to mention walking both dogs because the idiot was too lazy to get off his ass to do it. Not only that she didn’t expect him to get up until at least noon. She wasn’t about to waste the entire day waiting around for him.

“If you are in need of assistance with things, then allow me to be useful. I find myself growing rather tiresome of being around the house all day. Especially now that Taichi is out and about once more with the snow melting.” The poor dear seemed exhausted. Dark hues under her eyes, frail appearance, not to mention lack of color in her face. Wait---- wasn’t this child pale normally? No matter.

She got extremely uncomfortable, feeling a nervous twitch under her skin with the older woman wrapped her hand around her arm. She stared at her, her eyes dropping to the fingers that held her in her grasp. Slowly she inched it out, freeing her wrist from it. “I need to start earlier, going out of town to pick up some parts. Its going to be a long fuc-… A long trip.” She bit her tongue a bit, frowning before walking back towards the bus stop.

There was a place in her mind that made the wolf wonder if her ‘daughter’ did not trust her enough to speak with her. Had there been a moment where Keyanna could doubt her? None that she was aware. Perhaps she was reading too much into it all. Ren seemed rather convinced not long ago, her husband truly not helping with that. It wouldn’t come as a surprise if he was the route of all the confusion.

“If I am well informed I hear that you traditionally leave early for work, so I believe that you can spare me a few moments of your time to give me a true answer to my inquirey.” The she-wolf’s hand reached out and took her arm in her hand keeping the young pup from leaving. There was something strange about her lately, Mio feeling quite out of the loop if she were to be honest.
