After the first rays of the morning sun started to appear, Lau woke up the girls and then began sunbathing to rejuvenate herself. A unique benefit of dryads is that no matter how exhausted they may feel, a quick sunbath leaves them feeling refreshed, as if they had just woken up from a full night's sleep.
Kay was the first person to leave the shelter. She stretched and then went to the river to wash her face. After washing her face, she noticed several figures in the distance approaching them. She could tell they were the Hydras.
"Ay, I will be back in a few minutes; I'm going to meet the hydras that are coming out of the lake."
Ay was getting the boar meat ready for breakfast when she noticed Kay running towards the lake with large jumps. Instead of getting involved, she just shook her head and continued cooking.
"Goko, are you sure these people are to be trusted?"
