K'yohko could see the realization upon K'ailia's visage, and it was indeed as he thought. The child did not know what she said when she said it. Was she then, really able to be held accountable for such a thing? Although she had been considered an adult and to have passed her trial, it was decided too hastily. She was still too much a child to be held accountable like an adult could. Yohko was not sure what was at fault for this slow maturing of her mind, but he did not fret himself with where to place blame.
Instead he slowly looked his daughter over. She was genuine enough, surely. He could see it in the way her body moved and the light in her eyes. She loved her family and she did not know leaving the tribe meant to condemn them to death.
Yohko breathed out a heavy breath of air. The Calamity had stunted growth in all peoples and left everyone burned and scarred and sick with a poison.
"How is it that you help the tribe by being in the city?" Yohko looked earnestly at his daughter. This was something K'ailia needed to realize. In what ways did she help her family survive by being so far away? She needed to bring forth tangible proof of how precisely she helped the tribe by working and living in the city.
