K'luha frowned deeply. Family coming home... Her thoughts turned to K'ailia. Her daughter, where had she gone to? What had happened at the tribe? No doubt... no doubt she was already gone from that place. Something in her very soul told K'luha that. That her daughter was gone to a place where she couldn't reach her.

Luha pressed the canteen to her forehead for a moment. Her lips moved to a silent prayer.

'May her brother's spirit guide her to prosperity and happiness I cannot give.'

Trying to school the pained expression on her face, Luha turned her eyes lightly towards K'ile.

"Maybe... but I would trade him for my own son or daughter in a heartbeat. Exiled tia's sons come back to us, but my own daughter turns her back. It sickens me." Luha turned her head away somewhat sharply, bitter at the keeper for reasons that were not his fault.

Twinflame · **04-01-2014, 01:29 AM**

That was understandable. There were a number of people K'ile would trade the new face for as well. The Tia responded, "There's no bartaring life and death, no matter what they say in the temples at Ul'dah. If there was, what we sacrificed at Cartenau would've at least spared us the Calamity." The first thing he'd do is take those sacrifices back, since they'd won seemingly nothing. He could still recall the faces of the friends he'd lost there, and at the thought he dropped his gaze to the bracelet on K'luha's wrist. The red stones still rest on her skin, as they'd once set on the arms of the other fire dancers. "I think I should be wearing that bracelet when I go to the Elders," he said. "They'll be angry if I'm not."

Nauta Lyehga · **04-01-2014, 01:36 AM**

K'luha looked down to the bracelet when K'ile mentioned it. She had forgotten she was even wearing it at all. But now that she remembered, the stones seemed to feel pleasantly warm on her skin. They reminded her of pleasantly warm people she used to know, and the void left in their deaths.

Luha reached down and rolled the bracelet off her wrist before handing it over, a deep sadness overtaking her face still.

"They're already angry. What more can they do? You may as well set me alight with the damned thing. I don't think I'm going to be anything more than a burden to the family anymore. I lost two children, wasted countless resources, and now I can't even hunt or craft. Maybe they'll exile me. That's what we do with people who can't pull their weight after all..." K'luha frowned and glanced off towards the burning blue sky. She sickened herself the way she was feeling so sorry for herself. But there was no way around it anymore. She couldn't just suck it up and fight through this injury. That had only made it countless times worse. Frustrated, Luha sipped at the canteen while her ears flattened against her now long but somewhat matted and tangled hair.

Xha'li Moui · **04-01-2014, 06:20 PM**

Xha'li shrugged "As you wish, though Conjury isn't the only magical trick up my sleave, I'm also trained in Arcanum."Â Turning back towards the road he pointedly ignored their conversation, instead concentrating on following the markers in the gathering dusk.

Several bells later Xha'li pulled back on the reigns to slow the chocobo's down as they came up on the edge of the camp, "Hello!" Xha'li called out as the birds came to a stop just within what appeared to be the perimeter of the camp.Â Once the birds stopped Xha'li got up from the drivers bench and followed K'ile off the cart, but rather then heading further into the camp he instead only went as far as the head of the carriage and set to caring for the chocobos.

Twinflame · **04-05-2014, 07:36 PM**

Night fell and rose. It was dawn when they approached the camp. Even so, they could not have approached undetected. The huntresses had to have smelled the chocobo long ago, even if they hadn't seen them while preparing for their hunts. By dawn the tribe was already mostly awake, the fire that kept the camp warm at night having burned down to goals and need to be rebuilt to cook the morning's meal.

K'ile soughed the blanket from his shoulder and accepted the cold morning air that wrapped his body, jumping into it to land on the sand as the huntresses approached. The spears that had lowered at the sight of the red-headed Keeper relaxed when K'ile came into view. He flicked his wrist and made the stones on his bracelet light up as a way to identify himself, and then he waved high over his head. Xha'li's greeting had preceded his own, but K'ile's was more purposeful, "Hey, someone make sure there's a shaman awake! Luha's hurt!"

The Tia turned then, grabbing the cart and pulling himself up by it. He didn't wait to see if K'luha was awake or asleep, but said to her, "Make sure they take you straight to the shaman and don't give them a hard time. If you don't get better I'm not going to be challenging any Nunhs for you." Then he let himself drop back into the sand and turned.

To the arriving huntresses, he said, "Find a place for the stranger and his brids, but don't get attached to any of them. I've got to go see the Elders right away."

Izmina · **04-06-2014, 09:08 PM**

K'tahjha was studying her reflection in a piece of polished metal in her aunt's tent, thinking on the changes she'd undergone in the time she'd been with the tribe. Her skin was slightly darker due to exposure to the sun, her hair had grown out quite a bit, and she noticed her arms were muscling up slightly due to constant practise with the bow. Here she frowned, she'd definatly grown slightly gaunt,although she'd become used to the lighter meals.

Suddenly she became aware of a commotion in camp and she grabbed her bow and quiver and ducked outside to investigate. She saw some of the huntresses with a strange migo'te and a carriage. As she wandered closer, a familiar smell hit her nose, it was faint there was something else.. sickness? But she defintly recognised it. An excited grin spread across her lips as she sprinted for the back of the wagon., AUNT LUHA! she shouted as she dove more than climbed in the back.

Seeing her aunt , however the smile dropped from her lips, even she could see that her aunt wasn't well. Moving carefully closer Tahj reached gently out to stroke the tangled hair and long ear closest to her.

Nauta Lyehga · **04-09-2014, 02:42 AM**

The small group certainly did not enter the camp unnoticed. Far before they entered, they had been spotted several times over by huntress and the Nunh as well. K'ile was easy enough to identify, even from afar. His scent still had its usual subtleties to it and his fiery hair stuck out like a Amal'jaa camp in the desert. What was more questionable was the other who drove the carriage. He smelled of foreigners, and after the last stroke of foreign entry, K'yohko at least, was certainly not happy to see another one. The last thing to notice about the carriage was a semi-visible form in the back, that smelled familiar but faint. It smelled sick and weak and almost tainted. At least to K'yohko. He smelled a corruption to it, and it made him frowned as the carriage pulled up into camp.

Along with the other huntresses who had first noticed the carriage, K'yohko waited at the entrance they made to the camp. Alongside him was his monstrous Courel. The Nunh had found it long ago and raised it, and it was well known as his mount and hunting companion. The Courel snarled towards Xha'li as he came close, but K'yohko quieted the beast with a firm hand to its shoulder.

As K'ile called to the camp, K'yohko's ears perked up. K'luha? Was it she that smelled that way. So sick and... The red-headed Tia hopped off the cart and left a demand with a huntress. A particular similarly red-headed huntress.

K'iara looked to her Uncle, similarly fierce blue eyes blinking before her whole head nodded. A place for the stranger and his birds?

"But Uncle," K'iara called out, her deeply raspy and injured voice probably sounding particularly notable towards Xha'li. She reached a hand for her uncle, but he was elusive as ever. Off he ran to the Elder's and she turned to look at Xha'li for a moment.

There was a very tense moment that ensued. The huntresses looked to one another and to K'yohko. The Nunh's face did not change from its harsh and stoic expression, but his eyes lingered angrily after K'ile's trail only to turn back and linger angrily at the outside that K'ile had brought. When it seemed K'yohko might strike the outside away, a loud voice seemed to startled everyone.

K'tahjha came bursting through the group, and even K'iara had to dodge out of her way as the excited girl sprinted to the wagon.

K'luha had only been half-aware of their arrival, and less than half-aware when K'ile tried to coax her into being agreeable with healers. What she was aware of however was Tahj's voice when the girl screamed for her and her hands when her niece pet her hair and ear. Luha lifted her head, the blankets falling away from her and smiled at her niece. Her face was gaunt and fifthly, along with the rest of her.

"Tahj... How are you? I'm so sorry... we were gone for so long. There are so many things that happened but... did K'ailia come? I heard she came back to the tribe but... and my brother, did he...?" K'luha paused before shaking her head a bit and reaching up to grab onto Tahj's wrist lightly. "I'm so happy to see you again Tahj. I missed you." Luha smiled at Tahj and reached up with her other arm to hug her sister's daughter.

K'yohko's attention had turned intently to K'luha and K'tahjha for a moment. He listened to their moment, and felt a deep current of anguish. K'ailia... He would not let another daughter end as she had. He turned his head to K'iara.

"K'iara. Get K'zhumi awake. K'luha will need her medical attention immediately. She should be well enough by now to tend to her." K'yohko addressed, his deep and cold but commanding voice easily turning the attention on him. K'iara looked from Xha'li to K'yohko before nodding.

"Yes. I will go." K'iara turned sharply and dashed off far into camp, to Zhumi's tent. She only hoped her sister was there.

K'yohko looked back to Xha'li and stood to his full height. He stepped out in front of the huntresses and looked down to the outsider with an unmoving expressionless face; but in his eyes it was clear his hatred for this man.

"Why are you here? What is your business?"

Xha'li Moui · **04-09-2014, 12:20 PM**

Xha'li looked up from where he was tending as he felt another approach him, looking up as he finished up getting one of the carriages birds un-harnessed.Â Tying it to the arm of the carriage so it couldn't run off if it got to spooked by the curl Li looked up to face him while he set to getting the second bird out of its harness.

Looking up at the purple haired cat who seemed to be trying to intimidate him Xha'li just grinned, "My business here is that I'm trying to find out more about my father K'zhuzu as he was known before his exile, well that and K'ile almost ran me over several hours to the west of here."

Clover · **04-09-2014, 01:20 PM**

Like every time something out of the usual happened in the tribe, K'mih was among the group of curious miqo'tes who approached the scene. She saw and heard K'tahjha's concern about K'luha before she could even see the woman herself. The girl's loud voice had been enough to make her worry; what had happened to K'luha? Would she be alright? Sadly, the young miqo'te couldn't approach the wagon more than what was safe, for she didn't want to obstruct the adults. Miqo'tes like her had to remain on the side, waiting for the ones involved to share their story when they deemed it convenient.

This time, no one had mentioned the presence of a foreign miqo'te until he was spotted in the group. The girl's bicoloured eyes opened wider, completely glued to the new male his father was approaching. Was he one of them, perhaps, like K'tahjha was? K'ile had led him to the camp, right? There had to be a good reason for it, right? K'mih found herself eager to talk to him, more so after what happened the last time K'ailia visited them; she was told to leave so fast that K'mih had no chance to talk to her dear sister. No matter how eager she was, however, she'd still remain to the side, submissive, simply hoping for the elders not to throw their new visitor out too soon.

K'nahli · **04-09-2014, 03:12 PM**

The curious onlookers that had gathered near the tribe's entrance quickly grew in number. The faint yet familiar scent that was strewn along by the whispering winds presented itself humbly to the occupied girl's heightened senses, though it had remained mostly ignored up until now. Abandoning the task of preparing the sad excuse for meat they had to offer behind, K'nahli returned to her feet and slowly edged her way closer to the group that had congregated nearby. Her perceptive, maroon eyes were quickly guided along by the prevalent scent of a younger sister as they immediately sought out a pink-haired girl that had already participated alongside the other miqo'te.

"......"

K'nahli quietly veered herself away to the opposing side of the group, far enough away so that K'mih would not spot her as easily. The two sisters were not on bad terms, nor did K'nahli believe that K'mih harboured any negative thoughts toward her since the previous day. Though something still felt off about simply accompanying her younger sister as though all was normal. She watched her for a very brief moment before blinking and allowing her eyes to then travel nonchalantly out toward the carriage that had come to a halt several yalms away. The simple scene that had become an odd spectacle for the tribekin revealed two older yet familiar figures - alongside another one that she had never seen before.
Their presence, though unusual, failed to so much as make the girl blink. There was not much that seemed to surprise her these days. Still however, she remained. Curious to see as to what events would transpire from this unexpected arrival.

Izmina · **04-09-2014, 03:31 PM**

K'zhumi blinked sleepily at her sister K'iara's sudden appearance in her tent, no words were needed as Zhumi knew what her sister's attitude meant. Rising immediately, she grabbed her bag and moved with a slight limp towards the Â medicine table and began stuffing healing supplies in it.

K'tahjha allowed her aunt to pull her into a hug feeling how weak K'luha was and Tahj's mind was racing. Should she tell her aunt about her daughter? Tahj feared any upset could negatively effect her aunt's condition, and decided to appear as if she hadn't heard the hopeful questions.Â

Pulling back, Tahj's eyes glistening with tears and more than a little worry and fear, peered anxiously for any signs of the tribe's healers, not seeing any movement through the gathering crowd of curious family, she forced a smile and looked back to the woman. "It'll be ok, Zhumi is coming and you'll be fine." Tahj's voice had a slight pitch of panic to it even though she tried to hide it from K'luha. Glancing around she spotted a mostly empty skin of water and snatched it up, "Can you drink a little? It might make you feel better."

It wasn't the crowd of concerned miqo'tes that K'rahto had been carefully following, but the huntress K'nahli. Details like her position hidden from her sister K'mih's view didn't go unnoticed. In the end, that arrogant, unfriendly, and moody girl was very much like himselfâ€¦

From the distance, the Tia's eyes tried to finally focus on the ruckus, but there wasn't much he could see. He knew K'ile's carriage was back, and he could spot his sister hurrying up to a tent. Or to be precise, to K'zhumi's tent.

'What this time...?' He thought, frowning slightly, which just added to his ever serious and naturally unfriendly expression. Whenever people returned from any expedition, they were always wounded. For a Tia who'd barely left the comfort of his tribe from the day he was born, the outer world sure sounded like a harsh place.

Nauta Lyehga · **04-16-2014, 04:29 PM**

"K'zhuzu? A father?" K'yohko's voice betrayed a hint of surprise. He had barely known K'zhuzu, other than to know he was a weak fool who abandoned the tribe because he was too afraid to return after failing his trial. Maybe that wasn't a truth about K'zhuzu, but it was what K'yohko remember of him. As for the comment about K'ile, K'yohko shot a glare back where the fool had gone off to the elder's tent. His muscles tensed visibly, and he had to restrain himself from chasing after the little fire dancer.

Instead, K'yohko looked back to Xha'li and snarled beneath his breath. He had promised himself already; no more outsiders. No more people trying to poison his family. There was enough death here already.

"K'zhuzu failed his trial and ran away instead of facing the elders with his failure. Having a son of his return here when he could not even prove himself a man to us is nothing but proof of his disgrace." K'yohko's tail flicked agitatedly behind him, but his face was made of unreadable stone. His eyes spoke only of a loathing for his cocky intruder, and his voice was hard and flat. "That's all for you to know." K'yohko snarled, his hatred betraying his face and voice as he stepped forward at Xha'li. His courel snarled as well. "You are not welcome here."

K'iara slipped into the tent with her sister and looked around for supplies she might need. It worried her that Zhumi still retained a limp, but she seemed to be mangaging alright otherwise.

"It's K'luha. K'ile returned with her and someone else. An outsider." K'iara paused in gathering things to shoot a worried look to Zhumi. "K'luha looks really injured. And K'yohko looks like he's out for a fight."

"Zhumi...?" Luha repeated hazily, her mind trying to pick out people and faces she hadn't heard or seen in what felt like a very long time. After a few moments K'luha seemed to recall the girl. A pretty girl, very pretty, who had studied outside of the tribe for a strange but effective type of medicine. But she had come back home, unlike K'ailia... K'luha turned her head a bit more and coughed before she looked at Tahj again.

"Hey, I'm not... dying... It's okay. It'll be fine. Don't cry." Luha smiled at her niece and chuckled.

Izmina · **04-16-2014, 05:51 PM**

Â "K'luha looks really injured. And K'yohko looks like he's out for a fight."Â K'zhumi's ears flattened and her lips thinned as her sister's words rang in her mind. She recalled having seen K'luha when she came home with the child and thinking she needed treatment then. "This is a very old injury sister, I hope it is not too late to fully heal it."Â Then, thinking about the nunh, Zhumi grabbed extra powder and bandages to stop bleeding and giving K'iara a worried glance, she hurried out of the tent.

K'tahjha peered anxiously out of the wagon for what seemed like the one-hundreth time. What is taking so long? she wondered. Sighing she poured a small amount of the water from the canteen onto a cloth and began gently cleansing the grime from her aunt's face keeping up a stream of chatter to keep the woman engaged. Â "I've been practicing really hard with my bow, and I can stalk through the sand almost as well as any huntress, getting better at skinning and prepping the food the huntresses bring back." finally pausing to take breath the girl pulls the blanket the rest of the way off K'luha and freezes as she notices Â that her aunt was tied down. Ears flattening and her eyes sparking with the temper her mother and aunt were famous for, Tahj demanded, "Who did this to you?"

Xha'li Moui · **04-16-2014, 08:38 PM**

Xha'li looked up at the Nuhn and met his charge, "Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't it your elders who have the final say on weather I can stay briefly not the Nuhn?"Â Finishing with the second bird he untied the first and took the leads in either hands, "And I can't leave now anyways, the birds are in condition to travel." Whistling softly to call Rin and the chick he turned and headed off to the side several minutes away from the edge of the camp where he tied the extra chocobos to Rin's saddle while he unloaded Rin's back and got out the stakes to secure the birds for the day.
