ZZuhzub.. zabzu? ZZui? The harebee was curious about your scars.
"...Are you an alien or something...? Anyway, I got these scars when I was in the army, I was caught by the enemy squad in an ambush and I was taken captive...probably for three or four months... so I was tortured so they could get information..."
*The woman says calmly as she leans against the wall and crosses her arms.*
"They didn't get the information anyway... Well... Is that all you have to ask me...?"
