Well this sucked. Vellamo stiffened a growl, she had to control her temper especially around her own mother.
Kaveh had been kind enough to inform her that he couldn't convince Nuru to join them, even after he had made all sorts of compelling deals. Since scaring him didn't work, and acting nice wasn't getting anywhere Vel decided the source of the problem had to be with Eua, not Nuru. Besides, the black hyena seemed far too stupid to Vellamo to understand bribery.
"Mother!" She called out. Oh Hanma she hoped this would work. If it didn't she was going to drag her mother back home by her ears. Though Kaveh might use his military training to stop her, even if he was a pacifist he wasn't hesitate to use violence when told her asked to. That's why Vellamo assumed he had found his calling as a Ghadhabu and not a Kukoa. Smarts were not required to be a mindless killer...
"Mother, let's chat?" She tried to be friendly. Try being the key word in anything to do with Vellamo and her relation to the word 'nice'. "About that boy, that you like. I believe his name is Nuru?" Ugh. Nuru Moyo, it was impossible to forget.
