K'nahli shamefully lowered her head into a semi-apologetic bow as K'iara condemned her unusual lack of focus. She was right. Not just about the cause, but also it's intolerable presence in this hunt, of all hunts.
"Forgive me, K'iara... I will not see such negligence repeated again.." she apologised with a reluctant sense of humility. She chose not to meet eyes with the head huntress as she spoke, though her words were as genuine as they came.
K'nahli glanced sidewards, sending her gaze over to meet with the approaching chocobo that loyally hurried toward their position upon K'iara's call. As much as K'nahli loved the creatures, seeing them now only made her subtly wince to herself with apprehension as she watched their awkwardly uneven, yet necessary movements across the native terrain.
"..I... can manage myself, thank... you" the girl replied to K'iara's question belligerently after a brief pause, shortly before the chocobo came to a halt nearby. Her hip was still in significant pain and she loathed the idea of having to pull herself up on to the chocobo's back, even less so the bumpy ride that would inevitably follow, but that pain would only come secondary to having to so shamelessly ask for actual help with the task.
Her attention was then drawn to K'mih's movement as the girl relieved herself of K'nahli's weight and made to quickly set to the task as ordered by K'iara.
("K'mih...") K'nahli found herself silently calling out inside her head. She had never even acknowledged her sister's efforts to help her and yet calling out to her now only to say "thank you" only went against the girl's more timid nature, considering the presence of both K'iara and K'tahjha. Instead, her eyes merely followed the small miq'ote apologetically as her mind painted reminiscent images of the cold behaviour she had been unfairly rewarding her younger sister with as of late.
