The Reunion

Every single one of them lowered their heads and began to nibble on their fruits. Observing this, Fifi smiled once more, satisfaction evident on her face, while she let out a quiet, relieved sigh. 

Now that everything was settled, they could take proper care of themselves until Orion woke up and returned home.

Once Grandma Meldra finished distributing the fruits, Fifi nodded and said, "Alright, eat as much as you can, everyone, so you can regain your energy." She ensured her words reached each of them, and she watched as they nodded in response.

Then, she collected a kalna fruit from Grandma Meldra and settled down to fill her own stomach. 

As she enjoyed the fruit, she contemplated when Lyra would return with the new batch of fruits that they received daily from the Village Chief, typically around 40 kalna fruits and 10 Lipry fruits.
