Coral Cetus huddled in the tent, wrapped in a thick blanket. Her long, pink hair seemed to have regained its luster.
She was taking small sips of seawater. Stellan handed her a piece of roasted meat and said softly, "How are you feeling?"
"I'm fine. Buck, bring me my string of pearls." Coral Cetus shook her head, took a bite of the meat, then started giving orders. Buck obediently brought out Coral Cetus's most treasured pearl accessory.
Coral Cetus gently caressed her most cherished accessory, a smile gracing her lips. Her eyes and brow softened, lending her a much gentler expression.
Stellan's eyes glinted slightly. "You want to give this to Evangeline?"
Her thoughts read so easily by Stellan, Coral Cetus felt a little shy. A blush rose on her cheeks as she tucked a strand of hair behind her ear and nodded slightly. In a small voice, she said, "I know Eva doesn't need things like this, but I love it, and I'm so grateful to her."
