"You are back from your seclusion?" Tinka asked.
"You can say that. I need you to go back to the village and bring me nine men and one female outfit made for the desert, covering every inch of the body. Bring water and food too.
"If I may ask the chief, who are they for?" Tinka asked. He was still so curious and a pain in the neck.
"They are for my friends who have come to visit me from the north," Sagiri said.
"Yes, we missed our dear sagiri and came to see if you, of Tatani, have been treating him kindly," Kiuga said from behind Sagiri, throwing a hand around his neck, even though they were now almost the same height and build, but Sagiri was an inch shorter.
"We could never harm the chief!" Tinka defended immediately.
"Well, I don't trust you. I had to come see it for myself." Kiuga taunted.
"What reason do we have to harm him? He is our chief now." Tinka was getting pulled into the Kiuga bullshit.
