K'luha was just as nervous as Tahj, perhaps more so. Since it had all been her fault to begin with... she wanted desperately to make things right for Tahj. She should have been here all along with her family. Maka should have never had to die alone out in the burning forest.
For a moment, K'luha looked to the floor with pain in her eyes. Maka... if only Maka had told the truth to the elders. If she had just admitted it was all Luha's fault then... then Tahj could have still had her mother. And K'ailia perhaps would have been raised better by Maka than K'luha seemed to have done.
When K'luha looked back up it was because Tahj touched her hand. Luha took Tahj's hand in her own and gave her a reassuring squeeze. K'haali seemed to have vanished from the tent. It was just like her not to remain for longer than needed.
Luha looked to her grandmother with pained and pleading eyes. They couldn't send Tahj back now. Not when K'luha had dragged her out here to the damn desert away from her home. Not when... K'luha tried not to think on it and instead looked at K'deiki again.
