Nakoma had been raised in a culture where empathy came naturally and the tribal members had been taught to bear each other's burdens. It was something that she could not control and though a hint of nerves remained from her own preconceptions about this man, her heart ached for him. Clearly his soul was scarred with deep anguish from loss and from the horrific events that he had endured which now replayed in his mind like a film that would not end.
The young woman was unfamiliar with the word "revenge" but quickly gathered its meaning as Ryloss continued describing the events that had led him to this moment in time. She had never been hurt or wronged and did not understand how it would feel to desire to do this to another person based on their treatment of her.
Ryloss then spoke of murder. Nakoma knew what it was, but she shuddered at the idea of ever witnessing such depravity. Knowing that he had taken the lives of others made the Laku'na feel uneasy once again and she found herself sinking further into the seat behind Ze'kyre. Though she had not answered the man's query about her age, she knew that his guess had been correct. She had never witnessed the horrors that he spoke of and could not comment on the topic. All Nakoma could do was close her eyes and try to calm her heart that was experiencing an overload of new and painful emotions.
