"Asher Eli?" Lia's voice cut through the silence of the cave, drawing Eli's attention.
"Y-Yes?" Eli's response was tinged with embarrassment, his face flushed crimson as if he was did something wrong.
Observing Eli's flustered demeanour, Lia couldn't help but smirk inwardly as she noticed the emptied food cans nearby.
"Are you okay?" Lia inquired, her tone softening as she approached him.
"Yeah," Eli replied with a nod, his gaze shifting to his two companions still lying lifelessly on the ground.
Sensing Eli's concern, Lia offered reassurance, her expression turning sombre, "Don't worry, we'll take care of that monster tonight."
"..." Eli took a moment before nodding in agreement.
Lia reached out to gently touch Eli's cheek, but he recoiled suddenly, his face reddening with embarrassment as he stammered out an apology while panting heavily, "I-I am-ha-sorry"!
