K'nahli offered no resistance toward her father as he briskly forced her down low to the ground with a swift and rough motion, in total submission before the elders. She couldn't. After all, he was right and she was wrong. Denying such a thing would only be further deceiving herself, a sickening trait that the girl so badly wanted to abandon to the coming night before it poisoned her mind completely.
Her face, one painted with a neutral expression - a false facade - came into close contact with the cool ground causing the dry, grains of sands to gently kiss and tickle the tip of her nose. In spite of the humiliating treatment, the once proud archer made no sound all the while, for her thoughts were clouded entirely with heart-aching images of a disgusted K'yohko. A father whom had tolerated so much more than was ever warranted.
The girl relieved her dry throat as she swallowed again in a petty and discreet attempt to contain herself, to not make a fool of herself again, to not reveal her emotions and come bearing the truth of her hideous weakness; something that would only give further reason to earn herself contempt in the eyes of father.
