*ding ding ding* that's the only thing I can think of is a that a spirit contacted her or something. Otherwise she would've gone back to the temple and into the arms of Pema. She's a fast talker but she's still a kid and is no doubt scared right now.
In case you didn't know, I have a comic book called Guardians. I'm the writer/creator of it, and we have four issues out right now, with our fifth coming out soon!
We're also doing a Patreon right now for the comic, and I'd appreciate any and all help in getting it funded. If 56 people pledged $3 per issue, we'll be funded
