[i]"It's okay, we don't have to-...hey, wait!"[/i] Tunxeek reached out in surprise, but did not follow. Kaleeth could barely hear him sigh to himself before she was out of earshot. Kaleeth found Janius more or less in the same position as before, sitting nearby and watching the tattooing. He turned his head to see Kaleeth as she entered, and immediately his smile lowered. "Kaleeth?" He murmured quietly. When she neared and struggled to speak, Janius took her wrist and raised a finger to his lips. "Shhh-shh-shh. Are you alright? We..." He stopped and glanced at Julan and Thorantilth. "Let's go outside." Janius stood up, still holding onto Kaleeth's arm, and lead her out of the hut. He stopped a few steps away from the outside of the hut's entrance and addressed Kaleeth again. He asked her gently. "Did you...see her?" [hr] Fendros stopped and listened to each word Ahnasha said. By the end of it, he let out a small breath, his shoulders lowered a little, and he nodded twice. "Okay," he whispered. Ahnasha could noticed when they were downstairs that she had succeeded at somewhat calming him. He was patient and level with Ahnasha's relatives, even as they kept them both in conversation. Over with Fendros' family, Calia sat up straight and stoic alongside Monderyn as he held Llarasa in a hug. Llarasa had her face in her hands, but when she looked up to see Ahnasha and Fendros, there was evidently much more fatigue in her eyes than tears. Opposite Calia, Rhazii sat sunken in his chair, tweaking his fingers awkwardly with all the tension around him. His ears lifted when his parents neared. "In private?" Calia repeated as if to confirm. She only took a quick, surreptitious look at Ahnasha's family before she turned her head and nodded. "Of course." She smoothly stood to her feet. "Monderyn? Would you fetch some pitchers of water for everyone?" "Yes, mother," Monderyn moved to do as he was told. "Please, lead the way," Calia said to Ahnasha, turning a palm up.
