Muroki immediately tensed up upon hearing Kaith's offer. Zuyu had escaped? He didn't know whether to be glad about that or not because now she appeared to be held captive by these 2 lionesses. He was so shocked that he didn't notice Laini was as dumbstruck as he was. "W-what?" he asked with eyes wide in horror. "No! Don't hurt her!" What was he supposed to do?
If he simply refused, the love of his life would die. If he attacked then he, his sister and Zuyu would most likely die. If he gave his sister to them then he might lose his sister and Zuyu in case they wouldn't give her back to him. This wasn't a choice he could take. "Please, I..." But he had to... "T-take me instead... Just let them both go..." His sister looked like she was about to burst into tears.
Laini could only stare in shock. What in the world was Rav's mother doing? She was crazy. Yes, that was it. The older lioness was nuts.
