[ rayfa did make dhurke angry once, and that was actually very terrifying. the glare wasn't present, but his booming voice sure was. and that memory plays again in her head when nahyuta mentions dhurke being angry. ]
[Nahyuta remembers she had mentioned him growing angry once before when they had discussed Inga, and how terrified she had been. For a moment Nahyuta goes quiet, realising too late that perhaps he shouldn't have mentioned any of that.]
I... I'm still certain there was some misunderstanding. He would never meaningfully grow angry with his own daughter.
action.
[ good to know! but ah... She doesn't know about lhurke just yet?! ]
action.
No, but even if there were, Father has not been known for his strict adherence to rules.
action.
What else is he known for?
action.
His Dragon's Glare. One look could render an untruthful witness to a quivering wreck on the stand.
action.
That is not an image I want to see!
action.
[Nahyuta used to love those stories as a kid... he was such a Dhurke fanboy smh]
Perhaps you will even see the glare for yourself here, should Father ever become very angry. [If she hasn't already, anyway.]
action.
I do not wish for him to be angry with me again!
[ again!! ]
action.
I... I'm still certain there was some misunderstanding. He would never meaningfully grow angry with his own daughter.
action.
action.
["Circumstances" being Inga and everything else.]
action.
Then... I will not blame myself.
[ she gets up from her seat, throw pillow in tow. ]
I will leave you be now.
action.
If you wish to tell me, I would be happy to hear how your day with Rion goes.
[He also realises it's none of his business, but maybe Rayfa having someone to talk to again will help!]
action.
I suppose you have the right to know. [ he helped her out, after all! ]
