The sudden sensation of the K'taka's leathery fingers wrapping around K'nahli's arm without warning had unpleasantly surprised the unsuspecting girl. The elder was promptly greeted with an expression of timid shock as the young girl suddenly whipped around and was momentarily frozen by her captor's icy glare.
Blinking a few times, K'nahli began gently tugging her arm away to try and release it from the uncomfortable bind of K'taka's grip and back to the safety of her own person. She took care with her movements not out of fear of injuring the former huntress nor because it would be a hideous display of disrespect were she to rip it away defiantly, but rather out of an unexpected show of anxiety. It took only a few seconds, however, for that feeling to gradually slip away, though there was no hiding the persisting apprehension that lay quietly in the depths of her eyes.
"F..-ine, I'll get him.... but what does this have to do with me? K'ailia bears information relevant to our firedancer and claims that he was the one who instructed her to return. Turning her away so recklessly would be beyond foolish."
K'nahli spoke defensively though perhaps a little too bluntly for her own sake. Her crimson eyes quickly lowered for a brief moment as the realisation came over her; albeit, she didn't regret her words. She respected her elders but was not ready to allow herself to be bullied by them.
