Paul slowed the sound of his rapid breathing caused by his hurried movements, and slowly put down the gun in his hands. The girl's fierce gaze also softened, and the hand clutching the dagger withdrew. Her tense posture became relaxed.
The Fremen girl slightly turned her head, her raised eyes looking at Paul, then removed the mask covering her face, scrutinizing this young man.
"They say you are the Mahdi (also called Mahdi, meaning someone guided by the True God), but you just look like a pretty little boy!"
The Fremen girl, like all warriors, patted the sand off her backside, then stood up and walked toward Paul.
"You've chosen the hardest path to walk, and I admire your courage. Come with me, we have to go."
