Too Many Chiefs(open)

[Unna Hi Chaanu]

Unna stood up, but did not pursue the three men. Instead, she noticed how she felt better. She nodded at Gadeon, intending to address him later, but she had something else to say first.

"Thank you, Ni," Unna said with humility as she approached the Zeltron. "You have a special way of getting under my skin," Unna continued to approach Ni, "However, you seem to be capable of healing it as well. Not only did you heal me, you healed me despite the hurt I have caused you. It is..." Unna paused and swallowed before continuing, "touching, inspiring, noble..." Unna gently placed one of her large, Iktotchi hands on one of Ni's red shoulders. "You have a place here and I apologize for overlooking that fact. I heard about what you did on that date for us and nobody can fill that niche like you. You're apparently a gifted healer as well and your kindness sets a good example for us all..." Unna looked down toward her feet with a sad shame. "Especially me."

Unna took Ni into her arms and held her in a rare embrace. "This is a friendly hug," Unna giggled. "So do not get any ideas." Other than Cox, those who were still around to witness this softer side of Unna would know just how rare this was. Unna released Ni, but kept her hands on the Zeltron's shoulders. "We have our differences, but I believe it would be worth the effort for us to work through them. Now is not the time or the place, but I'm sure we will make it through this mission if we just treat one another with respect. Then I can take you out to dinner and we can talk it all over..." Unna paused, then added "as friends...maybe if you learn to keep a secret I'll tell you a few as well."

Unna then looked at Gadeon with a friendly smile, still holding Ni's shoulders.
