"What's this?" Hera peered inside and spotted the vegetables he had received as a reward.
"Let's team up. You cook," Xavier suggested.
Hera was taken aback. 'Is this what they mean by winning a man over with cooking?' she mused, feeling incredulous.
As if recalling something important, he added, "And just to clarify, this isn't a one-time arrangement." His implication was clear: Hera would be their cook for the duration of the show.
However, Hera wasn't entirely certain about the nature of the "teaming up" he suggested. Was it solely her responsibility to cook for him, or did it entail working together to earn points and achieve other objectives?
Hera didn't have the chance to address her confusion, as Xavier had already retreated to his room and showed no signs of leaving anytime soon.
Returning to her own room, Hera hugged the basket of vegetables, lost in deep thought. What she was contemplating remained a mystery to everyone.
