After patiently waiting for Greta to fall asleep, Orion gently lifted her up and carried her back into the hut to ensure she could rest more comfortably.
Perhaps it was the creak of the door or the weight of his footsteps, but the moment Orion entered the room, the unknown woman abruptly opened her eyes. They widened at first, fixed on Orion as he walked in with a sleeping Greta.
Then, she sprang to her feet, eager for a closer look.
"You... You're awake," Lola stammered, making an effort to confirm that she wasn't just imagining things.
Orion nodded in response and signalled to the woman to unfurl a third mat that had been folded nearby. This would provide a more comfortable resting place for Greta until she woke up.
Then, he turned his attention to the middle-aged woman standing by his side.
"I'm sorry, but I don't recognize who you are," he admitted truthfully. "Can I ask for your name?"
