Hok had the feeling Yun was about to do something strange, but everything vanished from his mind as a sort of absolution came; Yun actually hugged him! Hok's eyes sprang wide open, as they did earlier when he though Yun had killed herself, but he never once blushed at that point like he did right now. Why would she do something like that? Who knew? It was just weird, yet not quite unwelcome. He had expected some sort of reaction, but this one wasn't quite floating around in his reserve of ideas on how Yun may act. Hok didn't move a muscle as long as he was in Yun's embrace, other than his eyes twisting very slightly over to her face, like a crooked pin. Though the air understandably wasn't so warm as in daytime, he still felt a chill run throughout his system.
When she soon let go, Hok didn't know what to think. He was still red in the face and looked at her like she had turned into a manatee, but he began to think she was a more sensitive person than she let on. This side of her did show itself a few times since he'd known her, but this was completely unexpected. Cupping his lips into a small circle, wide eyes like a cat-owl casually drifting away from a view of her face, he exhaled a very sharp, labored and shaky breath. "Yer welcome..."

It was tough to go home but she did, climbing up the rope ladder seemed longer than normal but once she was at the top the light were all on and she debated running away though the sobbing from inside was urging her forward. Nervously she peeked her head into the house and saw her mother crying while her father rubbed her shoulders. " Mah poor baby all alone in the dark." Her father hushed her and smoothed her hair trying to be encouraging. " She ain't been gone that long, the boys're out look'n fer her." Yun took a deep breath and stepped in further into the light She was worried about and retobution she'd get for her antics. " Ah'm awlright mawh..." She piped up and the woman got up from the wooden chair and strode over to the teen slapping her hard across the face.
Yun stumbled back a step stunned from the hit, even though her mother was getting on in age she could still rumble with anyone. Just as Her cheek began to sting and her eyes began to water the woman pulled her into a tight hug. Her father frowned at Yun and walked past them. " Ah'm go'n off ta get the boys back 'ere." He left much to Yun's pleasure, he would have done more than give her a firm slap across the face. Her stomach groaned weakly and her mother frowned conking the girl on the head, " If yew'er stupid enough tah run off ya' could've been smart enough tah eat sumt'n." She went to heat up something for Yun to eat and she pouted. Tonight would be bad and tomorrow she'd have to go crawling back to Kulap as much as she hated it.

Despite the worry that his own mother may have felt, Hok did the gentlemanly thing that poppa probably would have advised anyway. Instead of going home, he stood outside Yun's family's hut and listened as well as his large ears allowed. He heard no sounds of beating or anything that may indicate pain, but rather that of welcoming and genial reception - the exact opposite of what she guessed would happen. The tone may have been a bit sharp, but everything seemed alright within Yun's household, between her and those voices who sounded like her parents.
Shaking his head at the nonsense Yun professed, Hok crossed his arms tightly, eyes drifting off to the side. Again, he felt a shiver run up his spine, as thoughts of Yun's arms throwing themselves around him and tightening throbbed in his head. He knew it was nothing more than friendship between them, yet he had to try his hardest not to let those thoughts become anything more than what they obviously meant. If he kept thinking about it, he may develop some odd ideas about his peer. He didn't want that at all. Slowly, very slowly, he turned on his heel and walked toward his home. At the very least, he was glad no harm came to the cranky girl.
