The sharpness of K'takka's rejection brought K'yohko's eyes to look more firmly to his grandmother. Rejection... It was disappointing. His ears twitched a bit, flicking downwards and sideways. Nunh, a title he had carried for so long it seemed to lose meaning. But to hear his grandmother say he needed to mate with a woman again? K'yohko's ears flicked upwards, a barely visible flush across his face. It was somewhat strange to hear it from K'takka. K'yohko raised a hand over his face, brushing the color and mild shock from any obvious expression.
"If I help the huntresses on the first hunt, would it not be a good start to charming a huntress?" K'yohko questioned softly. It might have been a long shot but, going on hunts with the women had worked well for him before. It gave him a chance to show off his strength and it had previously attracted women to his tent. His eyes glanced sidelong towards the healers tent. His tent was always open, even to K'ile. His offer to the Tia had been genuine, but it had always been clear that K'ile wanted as little to do with K'yohko as possible. Even now...
K'yohko glanced back towards K'iara's shifting frame in the distance as she left K'luha's tent. K'luha, they had been close once. She had been a good mate. Having a child had brought her back to live once. If he could only make her understand... His ears flicked.
"If not, I have someone in mind..." The nunh paused, his stormy eyes still lingering on K'luha's tent before they trailed back to K'takka. "It worked once before... I hope that maybe it would work a second time..." He added more softly to K'takka, his eyes lingering to meet his grandmother's. "Should the huntresses take K'tahja on the hunt? She could learn. She is quick and smart. I think she would like it."
