(well, Rikarah isn't BAD to her core...she's just...very shadowed. She can flit one way or the other by her mood or current influence...she has some good to her but she has a lot of dark too. She's sort of a empty vessel that could be filled with one thing or the other)
Seeing Christian indicate to her that he wishes to talk to Caroline alone, Rikarah backs off into one of the living areas, glad that he doesn't want to thrust the child off onto her now or to include her in any heart to hearts he might have planned. In the kitchen, Sheena hears him come in and his voice talking to Caroline and looks up, curious as to what Caroline is doing downstairs and what Christian wants to talk to her about, but she doesn't follow. She still feels self-conscious facing him after the events of last night, though he had only been kind to her since.
As Caroline follows Christian, seeing the wine, flowers, and cheese he has for Rikarah in his arms, she eyes it with curiosity, wondering who it's intended for. She hasn't yet made the connection between him and Rikarah dating and so asks with curiosity, "Do you have a girlfriend?"
She herself has never had a boyfriend or even thought at all seriously about boys; Lewis had been very adamant to her about keeping away from them, about all the dangers they could cause her, about how they would "steal her specialness" away. She nevertheless associated "boys" with being teenagers rather than grown men, and so had no association with his dire warnings having anything to do with Christian or the other men of the pack.
Listening to Christian with increasing soberness as he began to speak with her, Caroline dropped her eyes, her shoulders slumping as she didn't reply for some time. She didn't think it was possible not to want Lewis or to want to be with him...how could she forget him? How could she forget anything from before?
But it was the part about her being a danger to him, to the others she had known, that really concerned her. Looking up at him, she swallowed, saying uncertainly, "I don't want to hurt anyone...just....they're wrong. Those other people here. They don't know what they're talking about. I don't like them talking like that when they don't know."
