While the rest of the camp was silenced by the loud slap that sounded off Colours' face, Uthri did not seem to react at all for a second. "Worth it," she said through the silence. The scene gave her with a satisfied smile.

The fact that Colours maintained his oratory serenade with such passion, only to lean to Uthri and ask Vilana's name, did not earn him any favours. Uthri just crossed her arms and gave him an amused, if unimpressed look, raised eyebrow and all. "You want to know her name?" Uthri asked to confirm, speaking at his volume, "I'll tell you. Her name is 'I'm sorry I was such a codfish, I'll leave you alone now'."

It still struck Uthri as surprising how emotionally explosive Vilana was with Colours, even through this other hardship. Colours must have horribly betrayed her. Still, she wasn't going to directly involve herself in their personal issues.

"I wonder how many times we'll be hearing that slap when we arrive at the clan," Fendros commented quietly to Ahnasha.

Rhazii was sitting on Ahnasha's lap and had not missed the commotion either, but he was too young to know what was going on. Looking a little perturbed by the situation, he looked around to Ahnasha's face, "Mama, why did that lady shout and hit Colours?"
