That night, things were suspiciously... great.
Elfie ventured out of her hibernation cave and mingled with the women, who were all lovey-dovey with each other while sitting at a corner of the campfire.
Maximus, Kaisen, and Lloyd sat at the other end of the campfire, talking about various things.
Well, at least, Maximus and Lloyd were talking while Kaisen was lost in thought, occasionally peeking at the women.
The more he observed, the more paranoid and suspicious he became.
Something was definitely wrong here.
Alice was mingling unusually well with Elfie, like they were old friends reunited after years apart.
They almost seemed like sisters.
'What the hell happened to her? Alice never liked Elfie from the start. It all began when Elfie spilled that hot tea on my pants, but now...'
It was like a storm had passed, leaving no trace of the chaos it once brought.
