Fueling Up for the Hunt
Helia, Layla, and Nyla had already taken their places on the mattresses they had laid out, and Rio joined them, sitting comfortably as they watched Lia cook. She combined a variety of ingredients, creating a delicious dish called "Mystic Spiced Stew," a blend of savory meats, colorful vegetables, and fragrant herbs, served over steaming rice. The enticing aroma filled the air, promising a satisfying and delicious meal for everyone to share.
As Rio and the others eagerly awaited the dish to be ready, Nyla playfully moved closer to Helia, attempting to sniff her hair. She asked, "Did you change your shampoo, Sister Helia?"
Layla and Rio exchanged amused glances as they watched Helia's cheeks turn a shade of pink from embarrassment.
"No, I didn't," Helia stammered, attempting to dismiss Nyla's question.
"I'm pretty sure you did. This scent is similar to the one Sister Layla uses," Nyla insisted, with a mischievous smile.
