Bab 151: Better

Kalina, Chitra and Meena stayed in Alex's house. Others went home. 

Alex was the first to wake up. He tip-toed his way out so as not to disturb anyone. He wanted to visit the farm of the Stonehead tribe. But Kalina was waiting for him outside the house. 

"Hello."

"Yes," Alex replied nonchalantly. He was expecting to see her.

"What do you want to say?" Alex strode towards her and asked. "Let's talk while we walk."

Kalina paused for a moment. But she still followed him. 

"Why are you not surprised to see me?"

"Do you always reply to a question with another question?"

"No."

"So, why can't you answer my question before asking me something?"

"It is hard to read you. You are never surprised. Your thoughts and actions are always peculiar. That's why I am prone to ask more questions around you." 

"Hm…" Alex nodded. "But don't put me on a pedestal. I might just be acting."
