Yido spun on Aniphia, his face a mask of rage, his finger aimed at her in accusation.

"Aniphia! NO!" She backed up a step at his tone, her ears dropping in surprise.

"Yido?" Keu'deh turned slightly, peering past his hood at them.

"Ma-"

"You can't agree to this!" Yido grabbed Aniphia's shoulders and shook her slightly, making her eyes widen and she stammered his name. Keu'deh lifted his hand to touch Yido's shoulder. "People shouldn't own other-"

"Master? You're-" Yido snarled and whirled to face Keu'deh, his hand balled into a fist and aimed right at Keu'deh's face. Aniphia cringed as he backhanded Keu'deh solidly in the nose, little drops of blood spraying from the impact, his words lost in a pained gasp. Both Aniphia and Keu'deh's hand flew to their faces, hers to stifle a gasp, his to staunch the blood flowing from his nose while tears of pain flowed from his wide eyes.

Yido pointed at him angrily, but refrained from advancing on him, he hadn't meant to hit him, especially not as hard as he did, and he already regretted his actions as a trail of blood oozed slowly from between Keu'deh's hands. He didn't want the Drow to be afraid of him, but still wanted to make sure he was perfectly understood.

"NEVER call me that again! Understand!?" He waited until Keu'deh gave him a timid nod before stomping off ahead of them. Let Aniphia comfort him. Let her assure him it would be okay. He'd come back to them, apologize, and heal his nose later.
