Nala knew this merchant was a little bit… out of ordinary, but his sense of humor was something that she couldn't comprehend at all. His jokes could be so dark and he would say them with a straight face, which would make the other people think he was serious about what he was saying.
"How can I take that as a joke? Who would make jokes like that?" Nala felt her heart almost stop beating.
"I would."
Nala took a deep breath and stared at the little bottle in Lou's hand, which he played between his fingers. "What is that?"
"Hair tonic," Lou replied nonchalantly, as he leaned his back against the pillow and raised the bottle in his hand, as the light from the luminous pearls glinted off of it.
"Lou!"
"For your breasts. So, they will get bigger. They are too small for my liking."
"Lou!" Nala felt so embarrassed. No one had ever talked like that about her.
