K'ailia listened to the elders speak. Upon hearing K'deiki say she could not imagine what sort of heart could do such a thing, she felt the tears run down her eyes. And without even thinking, uttered the words, "A hurt one..." before going silent once more.
She had not meant to speak, but the words came out anyways. Was it a mistake to come back? What was she expecting? Regardless of her reckless decision to leave the tribe, she still very much loved her family. But so much had happened since her trials.
Finally she leaned further over, planting her forehead into the mat she was sat upon, realizing her speaking was out of orders by K'takka. She braced herself for whatever assault that elder would inflict upon her. But she would not fight back.
