Mad...

The moonlight flickered through the leaves, falling on Ceni's hand that protectively hovered above Hao Xuan's face.

Ceni's other hand was below his head, acting as a cushion between her legs and Hao Xuan's head.

She had already dressed him just like all those times before on the ship, becoming almost second nature to her now.

Her lips couldn't help but arch into an innocent little smile as she explored Hao Xuan's face, scrutinizing every little detail, trying to ingrain his visage in her memory.

Her pupils were dilated to the extreme. It wouldn't be far fetched to say that she was properly bewitched at the moment, forced to wake up from that dazed state after hearing the rustling caused by Haeti.

Haeti ran up to Ceni on all fours and neatly placed an assortment of 'fine' sticks on the ground beside her.

"My lady, which do you like the best??" he asked excitedly, but only got a "Hmm" in response.

Ceni didn't even bother looking up.
