K'yohko was lucky that K'ile had too much self-control. The man should have been broken by then, but K'ile was too wise to kill him, as much as he wanted to. He wasn't about to give the man the honor. "Arrogant and blind, K'yohko," K'ile said. "That's all you are. The word 'truth' has no meaning on your lips, and your mother would be ashamed. You desecrate her corpse by using it as a tool for this infantile fit." The Tia still shook, his hands in fists. The bracelets on his hands clattered rhythmically as he breathed in and out. He hissed, "I've given you more than you deserved. If you have even a modicum of respect for this tribe, for your mother, left, then you'll leave her, and I, alone."
He turned his back on K'yohko, knowing full well the man would continue to speak. The Nunh was rumored to know the value of silence, but even if he had once, he had now reverted into a child. K'yohko Nunh, crying in the sand, cursing and shouting and crying. He would not be able to resist, now that K'ile had turned his back, declaring anew his accusations.
K'ile ran to where he saw K'piru in the sand. K'yohko could not long steal his attention from the woman. She deserved his every breath, now. He dropped to his knees over her, and bent down, and said to her, "K'yohko is just sad. He is wrong. He's just being a child. Come with me. You don't need this." He didn't wait for her to stand. He put his arms on her to try and lift her up. She didn't need to take a single step if she didn't want to. He would carry her.
