章 149: Doubt (2)

"Why are you putting a helmet on my head? Do you plan to aim for it?" Annalise asked as Rafael was so kind as to put one of his helmets on her.

Before they went down to the river, Rafael made her wait in the yard, and then later returned with a helmet she knew belonged to him. 

"No. It is just for safety," Rafael replied. 

"Then, how about I wear the rest of your armour? There is no one here to see me in it. We should be careful of me getting struck on the side or anywhere else," Annalise said, crossing her fingers behind her back, hoping he would agree to it.

"The armour will be too heavy for you so it will weigh you down. You only need the helmet," Rafael said, tapping it to see how secure it was. She was smaller than him so it did not fit her right, but it should do the job for now.
