Realizing he somehow knew about the flag I placed in his pocket, I gather up my courage to ask,"Um, how did you know about the flag?"
He looks at me with a slightly amused expression,"I noticed your presence the moment you flew in. Did you really think I could sleep with you zipping around everywhere." He gave me a slightly condescending smile.
"Then why didn't you say anything when I put it in your pocket!?" I look at him, panicked and blushing.
"Wait, wait, what? sleeping?! Pocket!? Did..." they stare at me, mouths hanging open and flabbergasted.
"Hmm? Yeah, why?" I stare at the two that are out of the loop, feeling slightly better because of their exasperated expressions.
Both of their faces twitch at my newfound nonchalance, then Nars helpfully explains,"...We're taught to never fall into a deep sleep. When we need to sleep, we're always half-conscious, meaning we're aware of our surroundings." Nars looks embarrassed for me.
"..."(//A//)
Welp, time to find a hole and hide in it for the rest of my life...wait, how long do trees live? Am I going to have to live with this embarrassment for hundreds of years... QAQ
"AH! I SENT AN ASSASSIN TO YOUR HOUSE!" I "abruptly" remember.
They all turn to look at me in surprise. After the initinal shock that only lasted about a second, Manbun asks me in suspicion,"What?"
I quickly realize how my words can be taken the wrong way. I quickly fix them,"ACCIDENTALLY! Accidently!"
Manbun raises an eyebrow,"Explain."
"When I was searching for the flag I saw a small child, I thought he was lost and gave him directions to your place..." not completely a lie... I try to not look guilty.
"A small child? Here? Why would you point him towards the commander's residence?" Nars asks me in confusion.
"That's...I've never ventured outside this area, so I didn't know if he came from a village in the surrounding area or not. The only thing I could..." Manbun's cold eyes are staring a hole through me. I try to stay calm and carry on with my lie,"...do was send him to other people for help...and the highest in command is Manbun so I thought he would..have enough power to help." My hands start to get clammy, I messed up... now there's no room to fit in the most important detail.( ´△｀)
Nars and Cold-kun's eyebrow scrunch together. Realizing the discrepancy, Nars asks,"Then...how did you know that he was an assassin?"
QAQ I'm screwed.
