The corner of Senja's mouth twitched when she saw his reaction. Is he no exaggerated?
"Stop! Don't look at me!" He yelled and moved backward with his eyes still closed.
"You are talking nonsense" Senja grabbed his robe to stop him.
"No. Don't touch me. You did it and I saw it"
"I did it to help you, alright?!" Now she felt annoyed. How he could react like this since she did it to help him?
"AAAHHH!" He shrieked dramatically. "You admit it! You did it!"
Senja was retreated her hands from grabbing his robe and close her ears upon hearing his shrieked.
"Damn you Yoda! I save your life!"
"You are the one who insisted to go back to the battle field! You admit it! You admit it!"
"Can you not make a fuss?! You wanted to kill me?!"
"Who want to kill you?"
"He…" She pointed Yoda and then realized, Utara and Xiao Tianyou standing not far away from them.
How long they are standing there?
Yoda automatically go down on his knee, cupped his hands in respect.
"Why you want to kill her?" Utara asked without any emotion in his tone.
"Reply to Lieutenant Utara. This subordinate didn't mean it" His hand trembled when he answered.
Senja steal a glance to a man beside Utara who seemingly didn't have many emotions around him.
"We just joke around" Senja said lightly while waving her hands.
"Word 'kill' is not for joke around" Utara said still with the same tone.
Something was off from Utara. She sensed the vibe he gave off, it was more serious than his usual self, like he was burdened with something and he wanted to vent it to someone else.
"It was me who said it, not him" Realized the situation was going south she tried to end it.
"Back to your post" Said Xiao Tianyao dismissed him. Yoda trembled voice sounded before he withdraw.
There was a pin drop silence after he left.
Now the atmosphere turned awkward. What should I do? Should I retreat too?
She sneaked a glanced to Xiao Tianyao. But that person just walked passed her.
"Senja" Utara called her with softer tone.
She retracted her gazed from Xiao Tianyao retreating figure and assessing Utara in front of her. He seemed more relaxed than before but still there was a trace of anxiousness from his vibe.
"Don't say that word casually again, other may be misunderstand you"
Senja nodded obediently. "Okey"
"Back to your room, Elder Dam will come"
"Elder Dam will come?"
"Yes, since Tianyou almost sure about you, he decided to inform him about this matter, he is on his way now. Probably the day after tomorrow he will be here"
"Don't you think it too rushed?" Senja felt pressured about this sudden decision. They said, they would just ask someone to match her tattoo, but now they were jumped to conclusion if she was that girl.
"There are many coincident to overlook. For now let's go back and take a rest. I will walk with you to your room"
"How if I was not that girl?"
"Then I will give you sheltered as I promised" He smiled handsomely.
Senja smiled back to him felt more relaxed.
At least, if she wasn't met their expectation, they couldn't blame her for this.

On the morning, sun rays fell on a girl face brighten up her white skin and her out of ordinary curly purple hair.
Her eyelashes fluttered for a moment when she felt someone was shaking her shoulder to wake her up.
"I am still sleepy…" She lamented without open her eyes.
"Wake up it already past noon. How long you want to sleep?" Utara soft voice sounds helpless.
