Chapter 21
An hour later we stood in front of the inn. The early suns bathing the world in their glorious light. Lapia had my attention, however. The Elf looking positively glowing.
Her clothes reminded me of Chun Lee, but her legs were bare instead of wearing stockings, her arms too. The backside following the curvaceous shape of her behind, stopping mere centimeters after her legs began. It looked dangerously sexy.
Making sure nobody was looking at us, I groped her butt, noticing a few strings kept the cloth from revealing more than necessary. She turned to me and gave me a coy look.
"For someone who almost cried of embarrassment when the maid took the sheets, you sure act bold outside." her voice was full of smug, looking up at me.
"You said it's normal." I shrugged. "So I powered through." I felt my cheeks burn a little at the memory of the drenched sheets.
She walked to the right, with me at her side. "What's the first thing you saw when you first opened you eyes?" she asked all of a sudden.
"The forest around me. Trees no more than five meters apart. Lots of wildlife." I recalled. "I woke up naked on the ground. I walked for a few hours, completely lost. Then I met a turkey, about this size." I gestured around my shoulders. "I talked to it, and followed it for the rest of the day. We came to a river and it wandered off back into the forest. I jumped across and walked downstream. A few days went like that. Then I started running while charging forward with my pike. Around ten hours later I saw the cart, and the rest you know it." I took her hand, locking fingers.
"Huh." she nodded slowly. "How fast were you running?" she asked with a thoughtful expression.
"Couldn't tell. All I know is I broke the speed of sound." I laughed. "That must've saved me a week or two."
Her eyes widened. "Natasha, your numbers suck." she sighed. "You traversed at least twelve thousand kilometers in ten hours. That's more than a week of walking." she looked at me. "Try three months at the bare minimum."
"Oh." I really did suck at math. "Well, that's that." I shrugged.
