Oblivious to the insects' cries, Bastien went out of the cave and filled his lungs with the fresh forest air. Just then, Lupo and Lupa caught his attention. He smiled mischievously and gave a thumbs up.
"Love is a good thing."
At that moment, Jude quickly placed a beetle on his rabbit ears headband. And just as he expected, Bastien kicked off the ground, jumped over the barbed wire, and ran deeper into the forest.
"Kiiiiiiiieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!"
Bastien cheered.
Jude looked at his back for a moment and then closed his eyes. After all, there was nothing pleasant about watching a man in nothing but underwear run off.
At that moment, Ilaria came over and leaned against him.
"Is it okay to leave him alone like that?"
"It's okay. I put one of the beetles with him. Finding their way through this forest is their specialty."
"Ah, yeah."
Ilaria smiled. However, the next instant, her smile faded and her ears perked up. "Wait, is he fighting right now?"
