She knows all?

"Heard that the helmet of Jin paid you a visit."

Lailah said to him. She was standing before him. He was seated on a wooden bench planted under one of the boabab trees along the route.

One thing was making meaning of how she knew that he was plying that route, another was how she knew about the helmet.

After the trauma of the arrival of the helmet, he had gone to ask around the market square for the sorcerer in the town, but he was told that the man ceased to function.

He was returning home to decide where to keep the helmet when he had been called upon by Lailah from behind.

He had wanted to lose her in the first place, but she was swifter than he ever imagined. Well, he could had done himself a favor of never imagining it in the first place.

"What do you know?"

He shot back at her. But she smiled. There seemed to be a life in that smile of hers. She seemed to be enjoying herself or probably she had bagged something big.
