There was a long silence. K'iara was comfortable with that silence. She did not find it strange or nervous. It was nice. A quiet that she valued deeply. Her burning blue eyes scanned over her brother's angry form. She wondered how long it was possible to be angry in a life. Could one be angry forever? Maybe. K'rahto was surely working on it if it was possible.
K'iara had to admit, she was slightly surprised with K'rahto's confession. He did not easily given in, so it ask for help... He must have been completely desperate. To become a archer? She wondered if it was to impress K'nahli. What was happening in four day however? K'iara strained her mind to think for it. Was there a festival? A celebration? Was she slacking in her daily hunts? Surely they would need a lot more food if there was something like that happening. Yes, she would have to redouble her efforts to bring in enough food for whatever it was they were planning.
After a long silence in which K'iara face did not seem to change, she looked down at her shorter brother and nodded.
"I will, however..." K'iara paused and leaned down a bit to put her face on an even level with K'rahto. "You will not be able to learn without food and sleep. You must eat your rations everyday and you must sleep at least four hours when you are tired. The rest will give your mind time to process and better understand what I teach you. And, you will hunt with me while I am teaching you. There is no better way to learn quickly than to put your lessons into a real life practice. When you can hit a rampaging Sun Drake in the few spots where an arrow can pierce through soft flesh, you can hit anything stationary from miles away." And with that K'iara straightened again and towered over her brother. She brought her hands to her hips and looked down seriously at him. "Do you agree to my terms?"
