messenger from the wasteland

Chapter 147 Whenever (Seriously)
At night, Lorna seemed to be unable to sleep. She got up, walked out of the camp alone, and sat down casually on a hillside by the road.

She put her hands on the ground and looked up at the night sky. The shallow grass on the hillside was lightly pricked in her somewhat rough palms, and the evening wind gently blew her light golden hair, revealing her beautiful side face.

"It's so late, why don't you rest?" A calm voice sounded from behind her.

Lorna looked back and saw that it was the lizard man Jill standing under a tree with his arms folded.

"Ah." She turned her face sideways and smiled slightly: "I can't sleep for a while."

"Yeah." Jill nodded, and replied simply, without further words, as if ending the conversation.

Lorna also turned her head again, looking at the night in the distance.

There was silence on the hillside for a while before Jill finally said another word.

"Today, I saw that entourage named Chu wearing a badge."

It always speaks intermittently like this, because the vocal system of the lizard people is still different from that of humans.

"That." Lorna looked into the distance and said with a faint smile.

"I found out long ago."

She seemed to know what the badge Jill was talking about, and there was no accident.

"Then you should know what it represents." Jill's eyes rarely showed some emotion and some helplessness.

It has been in the team for a long time, so it can be regarded as knowing Lorna, the captain of the team.

Whether in battle or in peacetime, she is a very reliable person.But in certain situations, she can always appear very calm and rational.

"The Hiskama family, I know." Lorna said softly.

What does that wolf head badge represent, but any adventurer who has some knowledge should understand.

The family it represents has many names, such as the Western Wolf Clan, Guardian Clan, Wolf King Clan and so on.

But no matter what the name is, it represents the respect of the mainland people for this clan.

The people of their family have guarded the barren land in the west almost all their lives to ensure that the mainland will not be infested by wild animals.

And the badge of their clan has also become a symbol, a symbol used to praise unchanging loyalty until death.

When chatting today, Chu said that there is nothing in her hometown, which has confirmed Lorna's guess that there is indeed nothing in that barren land.

"Then you should also know that there will be no result between you."

Jill's erect pupils looked at Lorna. Although she was helpless, she thought it would be better for Lorna to see this clearly earlier.

It's not that the Hiskama family made Lorna unapproachable. Given the character of that family, it shouldn't discriminate against civilians.

But as a member of the Hiskama family, there is one thing that must be observed. Both men and women must leave offspring, and they must inherit and protect the blood of the West.

In addition, they will never break their oath, so Lorna has no possibility from the beginning.

Jill thought Lorna didn't know this, but Lorna nodded calmly and said.

"Ah, I know that too."

Jill froze for a moment, surprised by Lorna's answer.

He didn't understand, since Lorna knew, why...

"I'm not like normal people, you know that."

Lorna sat on the grass, as if recalling something, said softly with a smile.

She is indeed different from ordinary people, she likes people of the same gender as herself, but this is not something she can choose, is it?

"Because of that, no one has ever accepted my feelings."

Lorna spoke slowly. At this time, she is completely different from her usual appearance in front of people. She is not so confident and not so neurotic. She is very inferior and fragile.

Jill recalls the women Lorna "harassed" in previous missions.

In fact, Lorna just came forward to chat normally, and after getting along for a while, expressed some slight affection.

But at that time, those women would look at Lorna with weird eyes, and then bluntly avoid contact with Lorna, and some would even directly terminate the entrustment relationship.

After that, Lorna would always smirk and stroke her hair, say oops, screwed up again, or something like that.

Only then did Jill realize that at that time they hadn't noticed what kind of mood Lorna felt when she was treated like this.Seriously paid feelings are viewed with weird eyes by others.

Maybe she wasn't as nonchalant as they thought she was.

"Do you still remember, that day, she said she didn't hate me."

Lorna laughed, her voice trembling and choking.In fact, she also knew that maybe it was just a casual sentence at the beginning, but for her, this sentence was very important.

"So I wanted to try, just to try..."

She looked back at Jill, smiling, with some tears in her eyes.

"Try it, chase my love."

Chase, something she hadn't expected.

······
"Huh." Jill under the tree sighed, and said lightly: "Then, it's up to you."

"Yeah." Lorna patted her head and said with a big grin, "I'll do whatever I want."

"By the way, Lorna, in some of our ethnic groups, there is a very primitive way of establishing relationships, which is to forcibly tie the confirmed object back to his cave. Do you want to think about it?"

Well, in the primitive lizard people group, this method is not uncommon, but it is obviously not suitable for a civilized society, and Jill is just joking.

Ke Lorna actually thought about it seriously, and asked seriously.

"Well, what do you think the chances of success are?"

······
The wind was blowing on the hillside, and Lorna and Jill, who were discussing how to "kidnap", didn't notice that on a tree not far away, the first half of the night watch was lying between the trunks.

She opened her eyes and looked at the scattered leaves in front of her, without making a sound.

She heard Jill and Lorna's conversation, but she wished she couldn't hear it, but who made her hearing several times that of ordinary people.Of course, what they talked about afterwards was automatically ignored by her, because it was simply impossible.

However, regarding Lorna, since she made the mistake, she had to find a way to make up for it.

As for how to make up for it, she still needs to think about it. First of all, it is definitely impossible for Lorna to misunderstand her anymore. She has to explain the matter clearly, otherwise it will only make things more and more complicated.

Although she is not from the Hiskama family, there will be absolutely no results between her and Lorna.

Secondly, she has to find a way to express it as tactfully as possible. If it is too straightforward, even she knows it is not good. She has to find a suitable time and a suitable place.

At the beginning, she felt that her head hurt a little, she would rather fight ten more battles in the wilderness than think about these things.But obviously, she didn't have much choice.

Can't, is it accepted...
Quiet night on the road.

Sitting on the tree trunk for the first time, looking at the moon in the sky, I was in a daze silently.
