章 337: Don't ask

When Esong saw her later on, she was very sweaty and her hair had bits of small leaves and twigs. It almost like she had taken a tumble and rolled down in the woods. 

He looked her up and down, and then he rotated around her, observing every inch of her body.

"You look....., interesting." he said.

"Thank you." she responded, very sarcastically. 

"Might I trouble you by asking where you disappeared to?" he asked. 

"Don't ask." she replied. She picked all the twigs she could reach out of her hair and threw them on the ground. 

He raised his right hand and picked out the small leaves which were stuck in her hair. Some of them were so tiny, and it was clear that they had just started growing. 

"You were in the forest again, weren't you?" he asked. 

"See, you had the answers all along." she responded.
