Chapter 20

“Aah…I messed up there a little bit, didn’t I…” Her voice gave me the feeling that she’d been here before. Maybe with a person just like me.

“You’re probably going to hate me, or kiss the ground I walk on. That’s what happens every time.” She shifted on the log before stretching her legs out, warming her boots by the fire.

“Actually I think you’re a bit of a brat sometimes…” I didn’t even have time to finish my sentence. She stood up, the campfire giving her jewel-like eyes a furious red tinge. A switch as fast as every other.

“Brat? Just because I like having fun and acting cute does not mean I’m a brat.”

“I was going to say ‘until you use that mature voice of yours,’ but fine. Keep being a brat.” I leaned back on the log with a smug grin on my face. Ooh, this log did not actually feel good to lean on, but it made me look smug and that’s all that matters.
