[hider=Summary]
Kalani reacts to all the crazy things that went down. When she and Cuwarr are alone in their chamber, she ignores his offer to let her free and tends his wound instead.

Kalani listened politely as Cuwarr began to talk about the Gemminites. He spoke with such admiration that Kalani could not help but smile. She enjoyed listening to him ramble on about her people; perhaps it made her feel a bit more at home. She kept quiet as to not interrupt him for it seemed like he also really enjoying telling stories. 

But Sorici was acting rather strange. She seemed to grow more impatient and irritated as Cuwarr continued to speak. Until he brought up his dear mother, and that was when she finally spoke up. Her venomous words shocked Kalani and she hoped that none of the other drakkens had heard her. Did her sister-bride have a death wish? That sort of behavior could get her killed in an instant. Kalani's face paled as Sorici mentioned her name but could not squeeze a word into the intense conversation between the two. Before Cuwarr could defend himself, Sorici swiftly apologized for her behavior, but Kalani was not convinced. Something about the gem seemed off...

Suddenly, Sorici grabbed the knife and lunged at their husband. Kalani screamed at the sight and began to feel faint as she saw the blood running down his neck. She screamed once more as Sorici hit the wall. One thing led to another, but somehow Sorici managed to flee with her life. Kalani watched as the arrows seem to change direction just before they hit the mark. Had he let her live?

Cuwarr had ordered her to come with him in a tone that he had never used towards her before. She obeyed and followed him back into their chamber. It was silent and tense. She did not know whether to approach him or let him be. When he finally broke the silence, his voice was filled with pain. To her surprise, he had given her the choice of leaving him. 

She could return to her family! Her life could return back to normal as if these past few days had been nothing but a bad dream. This was her chance! So why was there this feeling of hesitation inside her heart? He was a drakken! His people had done nothing but torture her people! They were monsters, brutes and savages! But Cuwarr... He had been nothing but kind to her so far. She could not say that she loved him, but as he stood before her, revealing his vulnerability, she also could not say that she felt nothing for the drakken. 

Without giving him an answer, she picked up the ointment and bandages that he had dropped onto the floor. [color=f26522]"Let me tend your wound, mi'lord,"[/color] she said gently. She tried to apply the ointment as carefully as she could but could not control the fact that it probably would sting him a little bit. [color=f26522]"I'm sorry. I hope that didn't hurt you too badly,"[/color] she apologized. 

Then she helped him put on the bandages. Once she was done, she gave him a small smile. [color=f26522]"You are still covered in blood. Let's get you cleaned up. You still have to find another bride before [i]we[/i] leave for your home."[/color] She took his bloodied hands, not caring that her hands would now be dirtied with his blood, and led him towards the washroom.
