Valeria has always been somewhat of a blank card to you. She was a natural leader and made sure everyone's safety was a priority...but you didn't know anything more. She wasn't one to share anything with you.

Though, she was much more protective of you than any other cartel members. Valeria's gaze would follow you around but you tried not to bring attention to it. Sometimes her expression was open and arrogant, other times it was downright possessive.

It was when Valeria approached that you finally realized what her gaze meant. She was talking about a failed mission when her wings unfurled on their own, showing the dark brown underside and the vulnerable feathers that laid there. She didn't seem to notice, her brows furrowing when you didn't answer her.
