"I…I don't know. I was here when I woke up." Her voice stammered, weak, like a candle flame about to die out any moment. It wasn't easy to fool the senses of scouts who were older and wiser than her, not to mention the numerous situations they had faced.
The prime notion a scout learned was reading a person, only then can they not be deceived by false information. For, anyone with a brain could scheme and act. As she was actually blind if not for her Elemental Qi perception, she could get that part perfectly alright.
She had also sustained injuries to boot and all the previous fights had exhausted her, so acting weak was easy too. Moreover, when she wanted to tremble in fear, she had the easiest of options available.
