A cocked eyebrow was K'nahli's response to the nuhn's intuitive proposal. Her brow furrowed as she turned to face toward K'yohko, unsure of what to discern from his words.
"She needs me?" K'nahli retorted mockingly; her stance displayed no subtlety towards her defensive state.
"If my sister needed me then I would not still be standing here to hear you suggest so, nuhn" she scoffed while allowing her arms to fall free by her sides before making her towards K'yohko.
The sound of the soft, sun-baked sand displacing underfoot was the only noise that could be heard for the brief moment it took for the young archer to make her way as far as the target of her harsh words. Her maroon eyes locked with her fathers' for a brief moment, her features failing to conceal her agitation while K'yohko's on the other hand, remained emotionless and neutral... as they always had.
Her lips parted slightly as though she had something further to say, though as he continued to retain his gaze upon her she soon found herself defeated and instead directed her eyes toward the ground submissively, almost as if they had shared in a sudden, unarranged staring competition. K'nahli could often display her fierce personality and she certainly wasn't one to back down when challenged, though Kyohko, her father; he was one of very few people who could drive her into a state of surrender. It was neither because he was intimidating nor because he could be just as stubborn as her, but rather because: when those magneta eyes peered into hers, it was as though he could see her as she truly was, where she was weak and helpless. The longer she tried try to persevere, the more she would feel as though she had been in the wrong.
Vibrant eyes hesitantly turned upon K'ile now as his earlier request returned to mind. He seemed naturally disinterested in her and more affixed upon her father whom he had always displayed some form of envy toward.
"Mayhap another day, K'ile..." she finally spoke, watching him for a moment before returning her glance towards the camp and proceeding forward.
"I'll inform the rest to come and help salvage the carcass" she added gloomily as she slowly departed the scene, leaving the two men alone to their business.
