The daydream of making the wretches involved in her rather itchy predicament pay had precluded one of the number one rules in the forest: pay attention to your surroundings. Oh well, no need to look startled or anything, despite the fact that she'd already jumped a few inches. Play it cool, play it cool.
She casually got to her feet, all six fulms of it, and tossed her hair out of her face. A slime trail of snot arced out after it, catching the light. She wondered, briefly, how much worse it would make the situation if she wiped her nose on the back of her hand again. She put her hand on her hip, cocking it out like she was bad, really bad. And cool.
"I'm fine," she said, trying to sound bored. Since her nose was fully blocked up with mucous, it came out sounding stuffy. She had to breathe through her mouth.
A woman in her thirties really shouldn't have to try so hard to pretend to be with it. Whatever 'it' was.
