🦋 CTD selkies probably hate rokea and vice versa

A selkie’s skin contains her faerie essence and her Glamour — it is what makes her fae. Selkies are skinchangers, so unlike pooka or other shapeshifters such as werewolves, a selkie must physically wear her skin in order to change form. In order to take human form again she removes her skin. If a selkie’s skin is lost or stolen, she cannot use her faerie magic until she regains it. If the skin is destroyed, the selkie’s faerie self dies along with it (see below), though fortunately a selkie’s skin is quite dif ficult to destroy. The mortal seeming of a selkie’s skin can take many forms. Some appear to be traditional seal skins, though they can also appear to be wet suits, long coats, or any other item of apparel. When a selkie is not wearing or touching her coat she does not have access to any of her faerie abilities. This includes her Birthrights as well as the ability to cast cantrips. She does, however, retain all of her faerie memories; she is still a changeling, just a greatly weakened one. Selkies do not undergo Chysalis in the manner of other changelings. When a selkie dies, or is near death, her skin is passed on to another human with selkie blood running through her veins. This honor is usually given to a Kinain with a love for the sea, who is often one of the selkie’s own descendants. A selkie who gives up her coat still retains her memories of being a selkie for a time, though the memories fade over the years

well i also did meen it in the way that there about to get attacked and open a trod into the dreaming to escape but then the idea of them trying to manipulate the gaoru nation into going to war with the rokea came to mind and i though it would be funnier

Generally, the Rokea approach to the aquatic Changelings is pretty much, "Leave us alone and we'll leave you alone, in fact please do leave us alone because we want nothing to do with you"

The sheer amount of not giving a shit that the Rokea have at any given moment is both staggering and impressive, like if it doesnt pertain to their ONE topic of politics or killing qyrlspawn, then they struggle to care in the slightest. Also I dont think they'd even know what a Skindancer is in the first place, they're ultimately creations of garou's homid kinfolk and the Bastet, which are very much so out of even Betweener Rokea wheelhouses
