Whether or not K'nahli had not heard K'mih's initial remark or choose to remain ignorant of it was unknown. In the end, the older female placed no emphasis on the thick fluid that slowly, yet continuously dripped away from her hand. Now she had been preoccupied with what answer K'mih would have to offer in response to her question, and as it would turn out, it would not aid in her recovery from the moment.
K'mih had appeared to have been surprised by K'nahli's question in the end, an indirect answer and the source of which the next wave of emotions had spawned. Painful though much less powerful than before, or at least it had seemed. The girl retained her composure this time in spite of the forceful, tidal pulls of polar-opposite emotions that wallowed deep within her. Staggering slightly she placed a hand across her temple once more hoping that this time it would soothe the throbbing pain beneath.
It was then that both miqo'te turned to behold the tia K'ile approaching them, apparently having overheard their conversation. K'nahli's brow furrowed as she quickly returned to her typical defensive state as the man drew nearer and introduced himself to the ongoing conversation. Instead of passing judgement or scolding her sister for such thoughts however, he instead sought the chance to explain to K'mih, better than K'nahli ever could have herself, why such things were just not the way of the natural order. Regardless of his words, words that K'nahli would only have wished she could have spoken herself earlier, it brought neither girl comfort.
Having concluded with his thoughts on the matter, K'ile then raised his hand to K'nahli, presenting her with both his bow and a humble request. K'nahli blinked a few times in surprise in the revelation that he had merely come seeking her guidance. Nonetheless, the thought only further troubled the elder sibling. Her gaze momentarily broke away from the tia as she found herself sulking pitifully. She had, in fact, only been moments away from asking K'mih to come train with her before the matter even reared it's ugly head. As a result, she unintentionally presented K'ile with no initial response while her mind continued to wander further on the matter. Her sister seemed to be slipping farther and farther away with every moment that she continued lingering on the thought - and it was slowly breaking K'nahli's heart.
Shaking her head subtly and blinking a few more times, K'nahli returned her gaze to meet with K'iles'. Her ruby eyes glared through him fiercely in the process.
"I'd hate to think you were eavesdropping, K'ile, and that this 'guidance' you seek is merely your excuse for presenting yourself before us" K'nahli replied bitterly, her watch unrelenting on the male as she took a step to the side and gestured for him to take position where she had been standing previously.
K'nahli quickly passed a solemn glance towards K'mih to ensure the girl's well-being, fearing that K'ile's appearance and K'nahli's diverted attention may have left her feeling uncomfortable. Her lips parted as she sought to speak once again to her sister.
"K'mih..... do you..." she spoke hesitantly in attempts to invite K'mih to take part, though she was unable to finish her sentence. Her eyes reluctantly fell to the sand once more as a blanket of sadness slowly fell upon her.
No... surely she had no interest in training with K'nahli.
