In the silence that fell, Kira could only hear her heart pounding. She had no clue what would happen now. And her stutter... Had that only made things worse? Would he grow frustrated by it and simply dismiss them? The latter would be a small blessing, but Kira didn't know if that had a chance of happening.
But then he smiled, and her shoulders relaxed a bit. He couldn't be that angry, not if his words were any indication. She gave him a small smile back. But then the look fell from his face once more, and the smile fell from hers. "Kira." Finally, a word without her stutter hampering it. She also gave him a small curtsy in addition to it, to properly pay him her respects. Kira's gentle hand on her brother's shoulders meant that they also bowed to the mañana gave him their names.
But after that, Kira didn't want to say anything more. He was a Holder, she merely a stuttering drudge. Her older brother stepped forward. "Thank you for being so understanding, Sir. We won't cause anymore trouble like this today. If that's all, then we will escort our sister home." The boy was used to taking over in situations like this, aware of how Kira's speech issue would be seen by others. Besides, it didn't seem like any great offense to the man, since he had seemed ready to forgive them.
