Lily “Okay,” Lily says with a shrug, pushing herself up from the ground and tries to remove as much wet dirt from her knees and butt as possible. It’s weird. There’s this vaguely non-personal feeling about the whole encounter, but then of course Lily is going to take that kind of dismissal personally, even though she asked for it. It’s a petty, childish feeling. In the end she comes to the conclusion that the girl’s just doing a stupid thing, doing something that she thinks will fail, and it wasn’t that interesting anyway. Without so much as a word in farewell, Lily passes behind the stranger and starts to continue on her way - her back very strategically, very clearly in view if the other should look up and try to stop her.
