Senja had been waiting for Uncle Su to bring along Yoda's sister with him. She reckoned, that since it only needed four days for the round trip, it shouldn't take more than five days for him and the twins to retrieve her.
However, it had been 8 days and none of the trio had appeared. Senja started to doubt her earlier conjecture. Perhaps, Uncle Su hadn't co to M City to et her, but for another issue that he needed to take care of.
So, if that were the case, what should she say to Yoda and his mother about the youngest mber of their family? She had told them that she would bring back Yoona, Yoda's sister. However, if she had misinterpreted Uncle Su's intentions and he wouldn't be the one to bring the little girl back, what should Senja do then?
Even though Yoda's mother had never ntioned it, Senja could feel that she had been wanting to ask after this matter but was hesitant to broach the subject.
The last resort that Senja could think of was to ask her grandfather to get the girl back. She hoped Elder Dam would understand her reasoning and had even planned to discuss it with him the following night. The mont Senja had changed into her practice outfit ready to 'school', the threeso arrived.
Senja could feel their presence from the mont they had trespassed her courtyard, that was why she was waiting patiently inside her room while sitting on the couch.
Still, at their sight Senja couldn't help letting out a shriek.
How wouldn't she be stunned?
Uncle Su actually walked into her room carrying a bundle on his shoulder. It didn't take a genius to know what the bundle contained.
"What did you do to her?" Senja shouted at Uncle Su who casually threw the bundle onto Senja's bed.
"I told him that you would freak out, but he just wouldn't listen." Sheng complained.
"I told him the sa thing along the way up until we reached here." Xun added.
"Shut up you two! It is because of you that I had to carry her!" Uncle Su roared.
"What did you to her?" Senja unwrapped the blanket that covered the little girl and checked on her.
Yoona was petite and thin. It was evident from the small cuts on her hands and face that she hadn't received a good treatnt in her new master's house.
"I didn't do anything to her, just knocked her out so she wouldn't fight when I brought her." Uncle Su shrugged his shoulder nonchalantly.
"Uncle Su," Senja called out his na while holding back her annoyance. "you only needed to say that you were coming to bring her back to her family. If only you had said so, she would have trusted you and wouldn't have put up a fight!"
"The first ti we t, I ca in peace and goodwill, but you still didn't trust ."
Senja balled her hand into a fist and howled, "The first ti you t , I had only just escaped an assassination attempt and you even beat Yoda up! What do you an by peace and goodwill!?"
Uncle Su gave Senja an innocent look as he tilted his head, "I didn't hurt you."
"That's not the point!" Senja gritted her teeth and shouted at him in exasperation.
Sheng walked up to her and held Senja's shoulder, "It's okay. You will never be able to knock any sense into him."
anwhile the object of Senja's anger walked leisurely to the dining table and munched on so snacks.
"Where is my token?" He stretched out his hand childishly, like a kid asking for candy.
"I will check on her first to ascertain whether she is Yoda's sister." Senja inford him while wiping the girl's face with a damp cloth.
"You don't trust , do you?" Uncle Su said in a tone as if Senja's words had hurt him. But Senja knew better.
"What to do, it's hard to trust you uncle." Senja continued to wipe the girl's face and hands while Uncle Su sneered at her and mumbled an unclear complain.
Senja ignored him.
"Hey, can I touch your hair? I didn't get a chance to touch it the last ti we t."
Have to hand it to Xun for his impeccable timing!
"I want too" Sheng chid in.
Nevertheless, Senja turned her head and glared at them, "No touching!"
