These were good for her, even medicinal-nourishing the liver and kidneys, easing weak knees and lower back pain from kidney deficiency-definitely a treasure. Perfect. I have to eat more. Some were incredibly sour, making her teeth ache. Colin watched her snack, then cautiously slipped into the bushes to try two himself.

Tangy, sweet, and genuinely delicious. When she moved on, he followed 'silently, even hurrying ahead to shoo away the little lizards along the path so they wouldn't startle her. He laughed at himself. She wasn't scared of him, and those lizards were harmless. After shooing the lizards, he settled quietly in the grass by the road, watching her walk past before trailing her once she was a safe distance ahead. Ardenia put the coffee beans into her pocket space and headed toward the little river. There were plenty of wild ducks there, and the eggs they ate were mainly collected from that spot.

Today was no exception. She parted the water plants and discovered a fresh haul of duck eggs. Her excitement surged. These eggs were perfect for tonight's dish. Crayfish scramble-irresistible. She had collected three or four dozen duck eggs-a truly bountiful haul. Near the river, she spotted some river snails. She picked one, smashed it with a stone, then pulled a piece of twine from her pocket space and tied the snail to it. With that done, she moved to the perfect spot to start the final step of dinner- catching crayfish.

Colin helped without her noticing, herding nearby crayfish toward her using the water grass as cover. Fishing in this world was easier than before.

Excited, she ran over, with Ventor trailing nervously, afraid she might fall. "Go back. I'll find Ardenia myself," Deria told him.

She remembered Ardenia's cooking-amazing. Being away only made her crave it more. She stood and headed home to ask Scott to lead a wild boar over. Ardenia's mates had been busy, so she'd help with the food.

Ardenia fished a whole basket of crayfish. Only at sunset did she drop her stick. Halden came to collect her and was stunned. She had caught so many in one afternoon. "Ardenia, you caught all these?" "Yep. Tonight I'll make spicy crayfish stew!" "Awesome. I'll learn it and cook for you next time," Halden said. He began scrubbing the crayfish by the well, but struggled to handle them. Each time he reached in, a crayfish pinched him. "You dummy. Let me do it." Tobias squatted, hand in, only to get pinched. Pain shot through him. "Whoa, these can really be eaten? They bite!" He shook his hand.

Ardenia pressed her palm to his forehead, plucked the crayfish off him, and followed with a wood-based technique. Pain vanished. No more showing off. "Halden, I admit it-I'm no match for you.
