Chapter 59: Just some weeds

"Just a little bit further," Fay's mom announced while leading our small group through the thinner parts of the forest, thus making it more of a simple walk rather than braving through the thick branches and rich vegetation. 

Now that we moved away from the starlight plains a bit, the flora of the forest grew a little bit thinner in general, as if deprived of some sort of power that allowed it to grow, bigger, stronger, and lusher. 

And yet, despite having quite a lot to think about, I couldn't help but be stuck on one, awkward realization. 

'How exactly am I supposed to refer to Fay's mom?' 

While it wasn't a problem now and while I could wing it by not referring to her directly for a while… There was a limit to how long I could keep this small ruse up.
