As she approached the clearing, she brought her thoughts back to her head. Because what she was testing turned out to be true. Just as she suspected, even if she tried to boycott the impostor, he would still follow her to make sure she would be safe.
Though she could just use Qui Lin to threaten him to stay away, she thought against it. His help would be invaluable in times of need, so she could use him. But other than such periods when she needed him, she would stay as far away from him as possible. This was what Judith decided upon. As for her answers, she would try to find a way to worm them out of him whenever they were together.
Slightly satisfied, Judith removed herself from her head and looked ahead, or rather, around her. She hadn't realized she was already in the clearing, standing in the middle and surrounded by Parabeasts...and also, two or so corpses.
