Scarlet didn't hesitate or look at him as she replied with a short yet firm "NO" then put the bottle down to burp the baby then continued the feeding. She did all this while ignoring Young Chef Josh, but this didn't seem to bug him. In fact, he looked at her like she was a Great Conquest and continued to try and get her attention.
When she was about at the end of her rope there was a sudden noise coming from the forest behind them. A Young Scrawny Male came running out covered in a Strange Flower that looked like a Rare Plant that held a Huge Number of Medical Properties. He ran over and said, "Young Chef Josh we have an issue we need you immediately." It was only after he finished that he noticed there was Scarlet sitting next to him. Bowing his head and said, "Young Chef Mate a Thousand apologies I didn't mean to interrupt."
His actions made the Young Chef extremely angry by speaking directly to His Female. He was about to make his anger known and showing him why he was called the 'Young Chef' when Scarlet walked up to him and asked, "Where did you find this plant?"
This act shocked both of them and the newcomer said, "This is the problem that I came to get the Young Chef for Young Chef Mate." Bowing his head, he continued "It's attacking anyone that goes near it, and it is covering the entrance to the cave we need to get into."
Again, Young Chef Josh was not happy about this Weakling talking to Scarlet but kept it in and because she was interested in something that he could give her, so he said, "Show us what the issue is now."
The Young Male led the way, it turned out that it was not far from where they were so did not take long to reach their camp. That was not the issue though, when Scarlet was walking into the makeshift camp there were a LOT of Huge Males. There were a lot more then she felt comfortable to be around, but it was not enough to make her feel any fear.
When Chef Josh seen Scarlet looking around, he thought that she might have just been scared and tried to comfort her be saying "There is no reason to worry. My people won't hurt you, because you are My Female and are safe with Me."
Scarlet didn't bother to look at him and said "I am NOT Your Female, and I am not scared. I came here just for the plant and then I will be leaving."
Hearing this didn't make him happy, but what made things worse was the group of Males that Scarlet came across earlier ran up to them. The one that she kicked said "Young Chef Josh this is the one that we told you about!" Thrusting his finger at Scarlet he said, "This is the one that attacked us before."
This got everyone's attention.
Scarlet stood there ready for anything to happen, when Chef Josh started to laugh thus causing a chain reaction of everyone laughing. He said "How could such a Young Tiny Female cause that much damage to one of my Strongest Worriers? That hast to be the most ridicules thing that I have ever herd. Something like that could never happen."
Scarlet was getting aggravated with all the chit chat and wanted to move things along. Walking up to the Young Male and asked if he could continue to lead the way. Young Chef Josh was not happy about the Female he claimed talking to another Male, so he went to attack him. Since Scarlet still needed him to get to the plant, she couldn't just let him get hurt. He was also the only one in the group that was not pissing her off, so she stopped the Young Chef by grabbing his arm and saying, "I need that plant."
He calmed down instantly like a bucket of cold water was poured on his head. The incident was over before anything started and they made their way to the place she was most excited to see. It was a huge cave that was completely covered in that special plant. Off to the side there were some Males that looked like they had been beaten to a pulp.
She made her way over and did a quick scan of the more critical looking ones. There was nothing that a good cleaning and rest wouldn't cure. So, she said "Go to the stream and clean your wounds in the water. If you want to keep your injured limbs from getting infected that is." The Young Chef was shocked to hear this, along with all the other Males. Young Chef Josh looked at her with a smile and said "My Young Mate is also a Doctor? This is a happy surprise."
"Man, this Male was a slow learner. Apparently, I needed to school him on what it means to lesson properly." Scarlet thought. Turning to him she said "I am NOT Your Mate, and I am not a Doctor. I am an Alchemist Only here for the Plant. If you can't keep that strait, then I will beat it into you." With that said she proceeded to head towards the plant, which was the only reason that she came here in the first place. "Once I have the seeds of this plant, I can leave this damn area and continue on my way." She thought to herself.
Young Chef Josh didn't like being told off and he watched as Scarlet made her way to the cave that had thrashed his men so badly. The Young Male on the other hand was worried about her getting hurt and went up to try to stop her but was stopped by the Young Chef, because he wanted to teach her a lesson that she couldn't talk to him like that. He wanted her to suffer and realize that she was no match for the world alone and would need him to be there to protect her.
When Scarlet walked up to the cave though, all she did was smile at the plant and asked for some seeds in French. The plant extended a bud and shook some seeds into her hand, completely shocking everyone. When she packed the seeds away safely, she turned to leave.
Of course, when she turned around all she seen was shocked faces and she just walked right by without a word. Scarlet was beginning to be annoyed with all the Shocked Expressions that she had been getting lately, it was really making her miss the Sneers and Nasty Looks she always got. With the Young Chef Josh's advances on top of that, was really making her miss the murder attempts as well. Scarlet was so annoyed she just couldn't deal with it anymore and slipped up saying "Why is everyone on this land so weird?" Then proceeded to walk out of the camp to get way from away from all these Ridicules Males.
"I can't believe I just said that. That was so stupid I'm a mother now I need to be more careful." Scarlet was berating herself when the Young Male that led the way earlier dropped to his knees and said, "Are you the Great Spirit of this forest?"
