Kyara was taken aback by Kine's overt display of anger. She wasn't used to people not being intimidated by Rafford and she felt a flash of jealousy and irritation, what wouldn't she give to be able to feel safe in being so open about how she felt. What you have to do now is control yourself, nothing new there. She told herself and kept her face and posture relaxed while she considered what to say next. It didn't sound like Kine needed much encouragement, should she risk pushing and revealing her own opposition to Rafford? Kine could be trying to trick her but she much very doubted it, she didn't seem the type and what would be the point? What reason would she have to ally herself to Rafford, to that point, why was she even here? The dwarf didn't make sense to Kyara and it made her uneasy. But she could be about to get what she had desperately wanted for the last two years, she could deal with that, had taken worse risks.
