Nova took a deep breath and exhaled deeply as he tried to push the implications of the little girl's words out of his head, but at the time it seemed impossible, like it was deliberately haunting him for some reason, and he did not like it one bit. If she was not a kid, he would teach her a lesson.
'How can a kid even know of these things? It is starting to make me wonder, is she really even a child? Look at her words. If I were her parents, a good spanking would teach her what words she should and should not use... Ugh,' He thought with a frown on his face.
Nova kept on walking, and he was about to leave the forest and head back within the safety of the city walls when he heard a faint hum and his eyes narrowed as he came to a halt and looked around him.
He saw no one; he was the only one there. The trees were filled with energy, some of their leaves still glowing under the setting sun. He was out there all afternoon, and it was getting late.
