After collecting all the hidden ingredients, Hyson and Xiang Wai came back to the campsite. Hyson put all the ingredients down and ran to Raelle's side.
Seeing him panting, Raelle asked, "What now?"
"You have a favorite smell?"
"Huh?"
"Favorite smell," he repeated. "Do you have one?"
Raelle thought about it before nodding her head. "I do actually."
Hyson was shocked when he heard that answer from her and asked, "What is it then?"
"The scent of snow," came the very unexpected answer.
Hyson frowned and asked, "Snow has a smell? Why didn't I know that?"
"I didn't know it too," replied Raelle.
"What about your favorite sound?" he asked again.
"The crackling sound of wood burning in the fireplace," said Raelle.
Hyson fell into deep thought and he didn't even have to ask to confirm but he still did. "These favorites are associated with Xian Ge, right?"
Raelle nodded her head without any hesitation.
