Seeing the person standing in the hallway, Michelle frowned a bit. It was the same woman who had blocked her way in the apothecary. "How can I help you?"
The woman scoffed when she saw the state Michelle was in. "Aren't you ashamed of yourself, walking around like that?"
"No..." Michelle leaned against the doorframe, knowing it would take a while until the woman got lost. "Why did you come to find me?" she asked.
"What have you been up to these few days?" the woman suddenly went serious.
Michelle knew she wasn't really being serious. She was just putting on a show because people were nearby.
But Michelle wouldn't change the way she acted just because there were eyes around. "Since I've encountered you, My Lady, at the apothecary, I've been in the forest. I've just returned today."
The woman felt that things were going according to her plan. "And what were you doing there? Do you know something about the frequent explosions? The teachers were concerned about them."
