"Ah, this food smells delicious," Nessa said as she took her meal, and Liya smiled at her.
"Lady Nessa, thank you as well, this won't have been possible if not for you," Liya replied and Nessa looked at her before smiling.
"Relax, there is no need to thank me, I should be the one thanking you to be honest, you are truly a talented cook, I have a feeling if you were living where I was, you would have made it big, get really popular, but that can also happen here, I guess, except I won't share my cook," She said and they burst out laughing.
"I'd never cook for anyone else as long as you're here, lady Nessa, this is a talent you're nurturing, you deserve the best," Liya replied, and Nessa looked at her.
"It's fine, you can cook for others as well, I might be helping, but the one who is doing it is you," Nessa said and Liya smiled before sitting down.
"Your home must have been different, Lady Nessa," Liya said, and Nessa sighed.
"I won't say it was much of a home, to be honest, it wasn't, not after my life changed," she replied, "but it was way different from all of this and most things depended on whether you had money or not, you can never have too much of it there, it's more fancy and modern as well, I am using those ideas, the things I know about there to make life better here."
"That must have been expensive to live at, wherever that is, good thing we are all different and we can depend on our surroundings to provide a lot for us," Liya said and Nessa nodded.
"Yes, this land is amazing, which is why others want it; anything can grow on it, am I correct or incorrect?" Nessa inquired, and they exchanged glances before turning to face her.
"She appears fine to me; perhaps she is just thinking about the future," Dalia responded, and Riki sighed.
"Perhaps, or maybe there's something else bothering her," Riki suggested, and Dalia looked at him.
"You're thinking too much, as usual, you're suited to be here, that's my honest opinion, you're a good adviser, just so you know, you better start thinking soon, Riki," Dalia replied, and he sighed before continuing to eat.
'I have a lot to protect now, I'm going to get stronger no matter what, it's the only way I'll be able to fulfill this dream, my promises to them, if I'm not strong, I won't be the leader they can rely on, I won't let that happen, I'm going to push myself to the limit, let's see what else I can do with these gifts the universe has given me,' Nessa thought as she finished her meal and the others looked at her as she stood up and stretched off.
"Thank you for the meal," She said and they smiled at her.
"You are welcome, lady Nessa," Liya replied, and Nessa smiled at her before yawning and they laughed.
"Lady Nessa, you should really go get some rest, you're going to need it now, we have a lot to do now that there is trouble," Vill said, looking at Nessa, who patted her child on the head before sighing.
"I know, well I am tried and we have a lot of work to do now as well, I'm going to call it a night," Nessa replied. "If you guys need anything, come find me, good night."
"Good night," They replied before she left.
