"Piru found her before I did. Airos has joined the outside world and does not think she can leave it or her mother. She may come home when we move to Drybone, but I don't believe she will ever let go of Piru." K'ile was unsure now whom he was talking to. K'takka had mentioned exile, and K'deiki had echoed the suggestion, even if only in theory. He couldn't believe that either of them would have gone through with it; they were just angry. Rightfully so. But they were women and their anger would fade. K'jhanhi's fury had settled immediately where it would, and would not waver.
"I will earn the stones back after I defeat K'yohko and become Nunh," K'ile said this strongly, losing his ability to contain his own sense of will. "Before that, who will dance at the feast? I'll have to teach someone."
"Why would we let you challenge Yohko?" K'takka hissed. She shifted in the shadows like a worm beneath the sand. K'ile could almost feel the air shift in response as she leaned forward, her eyes turning to thin, glowing slits. "It would shame us to have such a disloyal creature mating with our women."
"I brought a feast and have a woman to vouch for me," K'ile responded, eyes on the dirt. "If K'yohko is better than I am, then I will lose."
