Downstairs, Sheena is proceeding through the living room at a hurried pace, but not quite as hurried as Rikarah's. She doesn't want to jostle Caroline, who is still periodically drifting in and out of consciousness, nor does she want to shout, because it might frighten her. Brushing back Serena, she barely glances at her.
"Have you seen Christian? Or Esme?" is all she asks before, without even waiting for an answer, she carries Caroline upstairs and into her own bedroom, laying her out on the bed. Stroking her hair back again, she tells the girl softly, "Look, I'll be right back, okay? I'm gonna get stuff to clean you up. I swear, I'll be right back, you're gonna be okay."
She runs down the hall towards one of the bathrooms, intending to get whatever she can use for the girl for first aid, and yells down the hall as she goes, "If we have bandages and stuff some place I don't know about, I need it now!"
Rikarah, ignoring Sheena's shout, stands in the doorway, partly blocking him from being able to pass, arms tightly crossed over her chest as she continued to glower in Christian's general direction. She jerked her chin back towards where Sheena is hurrying past, her voice still taut with anger towards her.
"That foolish little pup just inserted herself into the middle of an unknown Lycan battle, against my orders, and she has now turned a human child into one of us. She apparently thinks that raising and taking responsibility for a child is no more serious than buying a doll or a goldfish. Since she's a child herself, clearly, it is obvious that the responsibility of an even younger child will end up falling to one of us, and I nominate you for it. I am hardly ready to be a mother. By the way, though we chased them off, the rogue Lycans are still loose and should be dealt with as soon as possible."
