K'nahli clenched her teeth tightly together as K'zhumi proceeded to inspect the injury. Every slight touch offered by the healer managed to send a stinging pain deep into her flesh and begged for the girl to cry out to allow it's release... though luckily, this time she managed to keep her cries to herself.
"I can manage. If you feel you must tend to the rest then... I humbly accept" K'nahli responded more easily this time as the woman posed her question. It wasn't that the girl felt particularly uncomfortable with the idea, but she valued her independence and ability to take care of herself as much as possible.
That, and she simply wanted to return to her own world for a while, at nearest opportunity; where she could allow herself the peace of naught but her own company for some time - regrettably, the girl thought, to also take the time to gather the thoughts she would inevitably have to confront before the night would permit her to the sanctuary of her sleep.
