K'zhumi was cataloging reagents and supplies in her tent when the commotion came to her attention. She had been eating lightly to ensure there was plenty for the younglings, and her growling stomach did nothing to bolster her temper as she flattened her ears and strode out of her tent to see what the fuss was about.
Arriving at the outer edge of the gathering of tribesmen, her spirits were briefly raised by the sight of the expedition. But that slight lift of mood did not last long, as she scanned the returning members with a healer's eye. Her eyes fell on K'luha first and she bared her teeth faintly,"One huntress out of commission and needing fed." she thought, and where is that tia? Try as she might she could catch no scent of him.
Belatedly her eye fell on the newcomer,"an outsider." she thought sourly looking at the young girl's unfamiliar garb. Mood darkening by the minute she spat in the sand at her feet and turned to stalk back to her tent. "That one will likely need feeding too? I wonder if we should install fans and a raised bed in her tent." Returning to her dwindling supplies she let the tent flap close behind her.
