Kayden took a few steps back in shock. He didn't expect a reply like that, especially after taking so much time to explain himself to her. Suddenly, he wished he had met the clan head instead of this unreasonably strong woman who only seemed interested in the strong.
Thane quickly knelt on one knee, trying his best to salvage the situation with arms stretched out. "Please, we are tired and stressed from traveling a very far distance. We haven't eaten or rested in days. If we could get some time to prepare," Thane said respectfully.
Kayden eased himself down, surely she couldn't deny him his request, after all, it was the only thing that made sense.
"Hmmm, tired and weary you say" she replied scornfully, "We'll see about that," she said as she stood up in front of both of them.
