As the sun rose up the next morning, Oli was already up and feeling a bit anxious. He left his tent to find that Netra was also up bright and early.
But the surprising thing wasn't that she was awake. It was surprising that she was awake and helping his mother prepare breakfast.
Curious about their conversation, Oli decided to walk toward the fire and offer his help. "Can I do anything to help?"
"Just sit, and help Netra explain this to me," stated Ania with a strange look on her face.
"What do you--"
"I asked your mother about us being partners."
"Huh?!" Oli had no clue what to say in response to that. "You… I…"
"Come on, Oli. If you agreed to it, then man up and talk about it," stated Ania. "Did you really agree to be her partner?"
"I…" The young ape sighed and scratched his tired head. "Yeah, I agreed. If she were a gorilla I probably would've asked her already and you would've begged me to do it, right?"
