Meeting up [2]

In the dense vegetation, Melissa noticed something ahead of her.

"Watch out."

As Melissa pushed Kevin behind her, she stomped on a plant in front of him. A strange pink gaseous substance was released into the air immediately after she did that.

A quick wave of her hand cleared it from Melissa's view.

"What was that?"

Kevin was startled by her sudden actions and asked what was going on. In fact, he was more surprised by the fact that she knew that the plant she stepped on could do that than anything else.

Melissa glanced at Kevin while patting her hands together.

"What do you think I've been doing while you were gone?"

"Eh…"

Having just recalled her boiling something over a pot and relaxing in her tent, Kevin wasn't sure what to say.

She clearly looked like she was having the time of her life with him.

Nevertheless, he chose to go with the answer he thought was correct.
