295 No Past Nor Future

Rhea lifted her head and stared at the graphite clouds that shaded them from the scorching sun. "How did you know how to catch a fish?" she asked without looking at him.

"You don't like the fish?" he asked in response. "Move a little, I want to sit next to you."

She turned her head towards him. "Can't you sit on that rock across me?"

"I want to sit next to you."

She looked at his smiling face before she scooted over, making space for him to sit. Then she looked at the fish that he boiled using his magic.

He used it to protect them from the insects when they were inside that cave and also used it in cooking the fish.

To make sure that no one would notice them, Mo Li had been using a different type of fire. Something that she had never seen before.
