"Hah.." K'nahli scoffed mockingly as her eyes searched to her surroundings yet again for any excuse to avoid the persistent eye contact her father forced upon her with the situation.
"This sudden interest is a stranger to your usual ways, is it not? Should K'ile be playing spectator then I doubt this compares to the attributes he oh-so admired in K'thalen" she retorted, meeting his eyes again now.
"...If this is yet another weakly-conceived ruse of yours to quell the rivalry which he holds for you then you would be best seeking counsel with others before your next ploy" K'nahli added bitterly in an attempt to evade the full weight of the question he had posed upon her. Her nimble form was weak and powerless beneath his massive strength and so she had finally ceased struggling, though as she paused between sentences she found herself fidgeting slightly against his weight and grip upon her which had been growing increasingly, more uncomfortable; filling the short silence with the soft scrapings of cloth against brittle dirt.
K'nahli's eyes shifted away for a moment as Kyohko's words echoed in her head once more. Though her intent had been to stray as far as possible from the stage she could not let one detail go unacknowledged. The girl bit down tightly on the inside of her lip as she found herself unable to contain her thoughts and to refrain from continuing.
"...And.. I do not hate my sister. The very fact that you would even suggest such a thing is an insult" she answered firmly, looking him deep in the eye this time.
"I have done nothing to hurt K'mih... I would never...."
