He didn't want to show it, but K'rahto tensed even more when K'nahli started approaching him, a drop of cold sweat traveling down his cheek. The boy maintained his firm position and aggressive expression, a nice mask to conceal how nervous her proximity made him. They'd never exchanged as many words as they were doing now, he thought, and she definitely had never looked at him with such fierce eyes.
She had never looked at him, period.
("Did someone put you up to this?")
Her inquiry actually and visibly surprised him, for his offended eyes opened a bit more, displaying something akin confusion.
"What...?"
So that's how it was. She wasn't accepting his offer because she wasn't taking it seriously to start with. Well, that had to change; K'rahto just needed to let her know how deadly serious he was, and how willing he was to become a good Nunh for her.
"That's not...!"
And then he tried, but for some reason, words wouldn't come out. Granted, the boy had never been much of a talker, but he didn't remember any other time where speaking had become as painfully difficult as it was now. It was better when she had her freaking back turned to him, he concluded.
With parted lips that wanted to say more (anything, just say anything), K'rahto's mind went blank. Above them, the sun kept shining like a smile.
