The sudden touch of K'tahjha startled K'nahli, though this time she managed to retain her composure. The soft hand that placed itself tenderly over her shoulder offered a faint sense of reassurance before any words were spoken. Her body reacted only with the slight perk of both her shoulders and ears. Her eyes opened a little wider with both hope and shy expectancy, assured by the fact that only one person would be willing to come after her and that that person was who stood considerately behind her now.
"K'mih....?" K'nahli called back to the girl before turning to look directly at her. Her expression lightened for a moment but quickly faded again upon seeing that it wasn't who she had assumed it was.
"Oh....K'tahjha..." her voice trailed off with a mild sense of disappointment. Her softened, maroon eyes glazed over as they slowly lowered and escaped to look away to the side, avoiding eye contact with the girl whom she had barely acquainted herself with.
"Wh-...Why are you here?" she inquired solemnly, no longer trying to continue with her vain effort of trying to conceal her sadness.
