Clearing the misunderstanding

"My child....your question is pretty hard to answer"

Madell said a little confuse to why the child has asked that certain question that no one has asked anyone before

humakey and humans have known and help each other when the two race was living in the devil den so asking that question....maybe the child have no idea about the friendship of the two race

"...is it?. sorry"

Mandell said in a low tone of voice. he had no intention of asking the question in the first place. and only thought of it in his mind

'Did I raise my voice when i was thinking about that?'

The young man pondered. he then heard his owner saying stuttering with his word a little

"N-no my child you have no need to apologize. I'll answer your question. it was indeed hard but it' can be answered "

Madell said thinking that for some reason the child apologies to much not that it's a bad thing. apologising means knowing your mistake but the child hasn't done anything wrong so apologising is a bit to much

"Well mandell, if you don't know about human and humakey's past. do you know anything about the devil den?"

Madell asked the child. she have no idea to where to start as the child's mind is still unknown to her. she had no idea to what the child knows. so explaining only the thing the young lady has asked might be hard..for her and the child

She wasn't explaining to someone she knows. so Madell tried to scope how knowledgable the child is about the affairs between the two race in the past

"I'm sorry, ma'am Madell I don't know what a devil den is?"

Dexter apologised. he have no idea what the devil den is,

even if he had no reason to apologize as knowing nothing about the things in this place is not his fault,

nonetheless the young man apologizes to somehow lessen the problem of him not answering the question. who knows Madell might get angry and kill him

"No, no Mandell no need for apology. you just need to answer my question truthfully my child"

Madell said in a motherly tone somehow she's feeling pity to the child. she had no idea why..but she pity her

"My child look down"

Madell said closing the books cover she then put it to her side opposite of where Mandell is sitting

"Its the ground?"

Dexter answered truthfully to his master's question.

'I finally answered one!. I answered a question'

The young man celebrated inside his mind. he then look to his master's face waiting for what she wanted next

"Yes it's the ground"

Madell said. she then lean down touching the ground with his hand

"my child can you try copying what I'm doing"

Madell said to Mandell who is staring at her. she has no idea why the child started to stare at her but the attention of the child just centered on her. made Madell think that the young lady is curious to what she is explaining about

Mandell nodded and copied his owner's action. he leaned in the ground and touched the soil with his hand which is covered by the humakey costume

The young man can't feel the soils texture as his hand was unable to..but he felt the ground pulling his entire body as soon as he touch it

Curious, the young man looked and saw his hand embedded in the ground

'Its soft'

Dexter thought. he then opened his mouth wanting to say what he observed but Madell beat him to it

"Its soft right?"

"Ye-yes its soft"

Dexter said almost biting his tongue, he was suppose to say that. but he can't blame his master for being faster than him

"It is soft"

"Yes ma'am Madell it Madell soft"

Dexter answered to Madell's word which isn't even a question.

He then look to his side where Madell is. while still keeping in touch with the ground as he had no plan to stand up while Madell is still not saying a word

Madell then lean back to the spot she have when she was reading the book and said as she groaned

"op. oh ah. gracious my bone has gotten weak ow!"

She then said to child who is still in touch with the ground staring at her. it was weird for Madell to see the child in such position

"Mandell do you like the ground that much?"

"Sorry...I don't like the ground Ma'am"

Dexter answered truthfully lying would never get him anywhere after all.

'She have no liking to the ground. then why is the child still..'

Madell thought before finally saying

"Mandell why don't you sit down properly now. you'll break your back you know"

"Thank you Ma'am madell"

Dexter said. leaning back to his sit. it was pretty tiring even though it was only half a minute when he was in the position

"Thank you?.."

Madell whispered under his breathe. she then stand up and look to the child sitting in the hard stone ground

Madell gestured the child to copy her once more which the child immediately complied.

"Now Mandell can you try stomping in the ground"

Madell said as she watch the child do what she had asked or refused her....not that the child has any reason to refuse so Madell didn't take the child refusing into consideration

Dexter does what his owner told him to do. mandell's word is a law. a thought that crossed the young man's mind before he raised one of his feet off the ground

"hup!"

The young man stomped his foot in the ground.

"....."

Dexter then nod his head in disbelief. as he stomp the ground one more time

Madell who is watching the child stomped the floor has an unmovable smile like she was expecting something good to happen

"How is it my child?"

Madell said stopping dexter who already have his foot raised ready to stomp the ground one more time
