Xydane was taken back by the Miqo’te’s response to his question, or rather lack of. He was expecting a simple reply, perhaps an agreeing nod of sorts, anything to confirm her readiness to continue their mission. Her sudden outburst succeeded in halting the Hyur from continuing forward. He turned around and watched her move towards Clover. As she spoke, Xydane unconsciously tightened his grip around the hilt of his axe. His eyebrows furrowed deeper the longer Kiht spoke. Anger continued to manifest within him but he said no retort and continued to listen in silence. He initially planned to just wait out the Miqo’te’s rambling, ignore it and continue on with their mission, but her last words broke his silence.
“-and stop only thinking about the safety of this one woman."
“You know nothing,†Xydane snarled. “Would you rather I ignore the safety of ‘this one woman’?†he asked jeeringly as he closed the distance between himself and the Miqo’te. His eyes narrowed as he glared at her. “She may be just one woman, but she is worth protecting. I don’t know what the hell you are hoping to accomplish but if you put her in harm’s way,†he paused, tilting his head lower so that he was close enough within earshot for her to hear his whispered warning.
“…I’ll kill you.â€
He took a step back from her and turned his back to the rest of the company. “I’m done wasting time here. Decided what you’ll do but I’m going ahead regardless.†With that, the Hyur dashed off, leaving behind the others and continuing ahead with only the scattered thunder and the pitter patter of rain as his company.
