Stella started to wake up, she slowly opened her eyes and looked around. When she realized she's on the shores she asked Lucy how they got there.
As Stella slowly regained consciousness, Eva, now inhabiting Lucy's body, approached her with a reassuring smile. "You fainted while we were gathering fish," Eva explained gently, her tone calm and soothing. "But don't worry, you're safe now. We're back on the shores."
Stella blinked in confusion, her gaze drifting to the baskets of fish laid out nearby. Gradually, the memories of their excursion began to filter back into her mind, and she nodded in understanding.
"Thank you, Lucy," Stella murmured gratefully, her voice tinged with relief. "I must have been overcome by the heat or something."
Eva nodded sympathetically, masking her inner turmoil with a facade of concern. "It's no problem at all," she replied reassuringly. "Just take it easy for now. We can head back to the shelter soon."
