Surprised. K'yohko read it plainly across her face. K'mih was surprised he noticed at all. And then worried. She was afraid of him still. And guilt? So she was indeed running from him on purpose, but then why was it? K'yohko awaited a satisfactory answer, but none was given. She mumbled softly and cutely, looking at the ground still. She could not meet his gaze when she spoke, and that meant she was lying. K'yohko did not trust words when people did not look at him when they spoke.
K'yohko's ears twitched downwards. Why did she feel the need to lie to him? Had she done something unforgivable? Why was it that all his daughters apparently lied and did unforgivable things?
He reached forward, meaning to grab K'mih's chin and lift it so she might be forced to look into his eyes and his stern angular face.
"I can only forgive you for lying if you tell me the truth. Why do you run from me?" He asked a bit more forcefully. K'yohko did not mean to be frightening to his daughter, but his intense gaze and hard words might have frightened the poor submissive girl anyway. How he had ever spawned such a timid girl was beyond his own comprehension. At least he understood where K'nahli's arrogance and standoffishness came from.
