The Chief and The Chieftess' Arrival

After a few minutes, Molya rushed through the entrance of the tree house with a small wooden platform, handing it over to Orion for him to sit on.

"Alright then, now that we are all here, let the meeting...." Caretaker Ivor announced, but before he could finish his sentence, a clear cough sounded from the opposite side, interrupting him.

"Ahem! Shouldn't we wait for the Village Chieftess to arrive first since she was the one who specifically arranged this meeting this morning?" Caretaker Shani asked, her brows furrowed, prompting the other Caretakers in the room to nod in agreement.

Caretaker Ivor suddenly realized that he might have gotten too carried away in his readiness to hear Orion's solution to the newborns' problem. He quickly regained his composure, exhaling deeply, and said, "Very well, let us wait for the Village Chieftess. Hopefully, she arrives early so that the meeting can commence."
