Lian rushed over to the closest bush, covering her nudity from the woman who took her approach as a sign that she wanted to chat. Lian swore under her breath as she realized she was going to be stuck talking to the woman. She tried to smile and seem like nothing was wrong as her neighbor started to idly chat with her.
Lian's face was red. She was sweating. Her eyes darted about as she tried to make sure there was nobody behind her or exiting one of the other nearby houses. The woman seemed oblivious to Lian' clear uncomfortableness though, and she rattled on about her sister.
Eventually the woman stopped, noticing a small bump poking out from Lian's hair.
"L-lian, are you feeling alright? Did you hit your head or something? It looks like it's swelling up."
