"W-wait, hold on! It's not what it looks like!" Richard said, letting go of Mine and raising his hands in a panic. "I just came here to help her find her way back!"
Mine eventually vouched for Richard, but it took a moment for the person named Shio to respond to the request.
"...very well."
The figure jumped from the tree and landing on the ground in a crouched position. The glint of silvery mantis blades reflected in the light of the sun in her hands. The figure then looked up, her large caramel eyes staring hard at Richard before sheathing her weapons and walking forward. Richard swallowed hard before taking a small step back, in part to give Mine and Shio space, and in part because he didn't want to use self-defense against the small Enkidu. Seriously, how old WERE these two?
Shio's anger seemed to dissipate and was replaced with a deadpanned expression at Mine as she approached her.
"I tried playing a prank on a giant beast thing," Shio explained in a monotnous voice. "I thought tying bells on its tail would drive it crazy."
Richard stared bewildered.
She tried to what now!?
"The bells did work, but it ended up wrecking the camp," she said plainly. "Instead of cleaning up though, I thought it'd be fun to tease you and see how surprised you were."
At this, Richard's brows furrowed and his eyes narrowed.
This girl...has a very bizarre and DANGEROUS sense of humor...
