In K'mih's almost unbearable shyness, K'yohko found himself breathing evenly. Whatever it was, surely K'mih was unable to commit any great sin. She was, after all, too obidient to go against anyone's wishes. Perhaps that was not a good thing, but in a tribe with too many defiant youths, her obedience was a breath of fresh air. He would never have to put bowls on her head and force it into the sand to try and pound sense into it and even still never quite reach that stupid head...
K'yohko brought his thoughts back around to K'mih and that moment. A favorite partner or daughter? The way K'mih asked, she was most certainly referring to if he had a favorite daughter, not partener. It unnerved him to be asked the very question he avoided like a hunting trip with K'ile, or more aptly the very death of his patience and self control.
"No." He answered in a rather rushed manner, almost cutting K'mih off. "I don't have a favorite. I have never had a favorite. I do not favor one daughter or woman over the other. All are important and of equal value to me and the tribe." The answer was recited, as if K'yohko had long since been practicing what to say when it was asked. There was a moment of awkward silence before K'yohko narrowed his gaze at her a bit.
"Was that... what they scolded you about? You wanted to be my favorite daughter?" He asked somewhat cautiously. It seemed odd to him, and yet made perfect sense. She was the obedient one. Of course there was a reason for her obedience.
