The Hidden Helpers

Once Bassus had made his delivery, he left, but not before sending his regards to Yuri on behalf of all the warriors.

Looking at all the goodies on the table, Yuri remarked, "We've been battling for days now. Is this their last stash?"

Perhaps they'd saved these treats, too precious to be eaten until now.

The thought warmed Yuri's heart.

When she was battling the level-eight insectoids, she hadn't given it much thought. Yet, here she was, receiving such care and goodwill from so many people.

"Probably. But you can't eat any of it now, I'll keep it safe for you," Tuss responded, stashing away the pile of snacks into his dimensional button.

Yuri's eyes sparkled with longing. Swallowing hard, she said, "If I can't have the snacks, bring me a few bottles of Nutrient Fluids. Make it cola flavored."
