A Surprise Visit

It was their second day of spending time away from the palace at their newly-found haven in the southern part of Valcrez, and Mineah felt like she wanted to go out some more just like what they did last midnight when they went to a night market where she enjoyed a lot of street foods she was craving for. They enjoyed it so well that she and Nikolai were only now waking up. It was already time for lunch, which meant that they had to do that first before doing anything else.

Mineah sighed as she watched Nikolai prepare their lunch at the table. "I miss my mom's soybean paste stew," she pouted. "I also wonder what my garden back home looks like now…" 

"I can try cooking that now as well, Mine," Nikolai enthusiastically replied to her with a wink.
