"What do you want from me, I don't perceive any real hostility, are you just curious or having fun?"
Lisa was taken aback....
"What do you mean?, don't act like you know me"
She retorted sharply...
Leila didn't say anything again.....
Awkward silence reigned for a while before Lisa broke it.
"e...e...veryone says it, and you really look strange, and scary too...."
She said hesitantly....
"Curiousity it is..."
Leila said, she then continued...
"Next time if you're curious about someone how about asking nicely, instead of being barbaric, not like I care.... You just tend to be a little louder than others and disrupt my peace Lisa"
Leila said quietly and tint of pink appeared on Lisa's ears and cheek.
Amusement swirled in Leila's eyes, she thought Lisa was just like a naughty child that was curious when seeing a dog for a first time so she wants to provoke it to see what it could do.
"Then.....I hear your name is Leila, introductions are supposed to go both ways but you didnt introduce yourself....
How old are you?"
She asked curiosly....
"I'm don't like engaging in meaningless conversations, carry on with your work"
She girl blushed harder out of embarrassment and quickly turned to walk away, but she only took 6 steps before she heard Leila speak.
"17....,"
She paused, a little adtonished, before smiling a little without turning back and continuing on her way.
Peace and quiet returned as Leila silently continued with her work.
Then suddenly she heard a light thud, she sharply turned around and when she saw a man with a black cloth covering his face that jumped over the incredibly high palace fence she quickly picked up a sturdy stick by her side and stood diligently with determination in her eyes.
She would do anything to protect herself.
The man watched her calmly with amusement dancing in his eyes before walking calmly towards her, with the distance of five feet between them, he removed the black cloth to reveal a very handsome face, he was very tall with dark hair and very light blue eyes.
They both remained in silence, neither willing to talk or back down.
Then suddenly a smile broke out on his face, one that didn't quite reach his eyes....
"Hello, sorry for the intrusion but I'm not here for you so need to worry"...
He said even though he could clearly see that she wasn't worried or scared, which made him more intrigued apart from her unique appearance and eyes.
"Haha, carry on then...."
He received silence and awkwardly cleared his throat and then walked away calmly without turning back..
Leila didn't stop him or say anything, she didn't like meddling in anyone's business, even if he was a thief she wouldn't do anything, that's how cold and carefree she was.....She just didn't have any feelings towards the palace or it's residents except her mother.
So anything that doesn't involve her, she wouldn't react.
She watched him walk away until he was out of sight....
