Xenia simply nodded in acknowledgment. "Fair enough."
"By the way, how are you feeling?" Jayra casually followed up.

"Here," Darius said with a smile, handing her a tray of meals.
"Thank you," Xenia promptly replied before she looked around the camp with a frown. "Hmm… Am I the only one using a tent tonight?"
