With her hip being the pain that it was, K'luha was going to need to sit again soon. Normally she wouldn't have pulled up so close to the camp but, walking was simply an issue now. And it wasn't about to get better anytime soon it seemed. K'luha motioned Tahj to help K'haali as the other red haired miq'ote tossed things at Tahj and started unpacking. K'luha couldn't help, but at least Tahj could. Well rather, would have if the cries of the younger children hadn't been swiftly followed by a small swam of younglings around them. They couldn't have possibly known about K'ile and K'ailia... and K'luha did a very good job of masking how it stung to hear such eager questions. Instead, K'luha carefully knelt down to take pressure off her hip and smiled at the young ones.
"We did find things. We found some wonderful places with lots of food. K'ile went to do some very important things, okay? And he'll be back home in a few days." K'luha completely skipped over the question of K'ailia, hoping they would be distracted by Tahj instead. "And this is K'tahjha. She's my niece. She grew up a long way away from here. So you have to be nice to her, okay? She's going to be living with us from now on." K'luha smiled cheerfully and took over to Tahj. "Why don't you say hello?"
Off some ways in the tribe, a dark skinned Miq'ote male sat in a quiet meditation. The desert air was even drier and hotter than usual, K'yohko noted briefly. The winds blew soft but recognizable scenes towards him. K'luha... K'haali... and someone else? He smelt them long before he saw them. His head turned briefly to look at the group, and he watched the children swarm around them with questions. Good questions. Some he would have liked answered as well.
K'yohko Nunh pushed off the tent he was leaning on and stepped over towards the Elder's tent. It was best if they were given the news straight away. He respectfully pushed the flap open and stuck his head instead to look within.
"The scouting party has returned." Was all his words before he stepped away and let the flap shut. He remained by the entrance, looking out and watching with vague interest.
