"Make sure to eat on time, okay?" Rose said as she handed Keane a basket filled with sandwiches. "If you come back skinny like the first time I saw you, I'll ignore you for a month."
"Okay," Keane replied as he took the basket from Rose's hand and put it inside his storage ring. "Thank you. And please, take care of yourself too, okay? I know you have a lot of responsibilities, but don't push yourself too hard."
"Don't worry, I know." Rose nodded. "Come find me in our Ancestral Grounds when you return, okay?"
"I will."
"Good. I'll be waiting."
The two then hugged each other, very reluctant to let each other go. However, both of them understood that they had responsibilities to take care of.
Under the cover of the forest, on the outskirts of the Rowan Tribe, Keane and Rose shared a kiss of farewell before returning to where the others were while holding each other's hands.
