119 John can cook (1/2)
As john entered the cave, he found Serena awake, she was still laying on the ground and was still red, but it looked like she was feeling slightly better
John quickly took the crate with medicines over to them and released posession
”welcome back, john” Said Ariel
”Thanks Ariel, Is serena feeling better?” John asked
”Of course I am” replied serena as she looked away
”That's good, I went ahead and got you some medicine” Said john as he placed the crate on the ground next to them
He got the medicine master told him to give to serena, it was in a closed liquid bottle, John checked to see if it was used, and it looked like it hadn't been opened so he felt safe giving it to serena
It was most likely something the bandits stole and never got to use, but just in case it wasn't poisonous, he planned to try some himself
”Where and Why?” Asked Serena as she turned to him
She had a blanket over her and only her head was poking out. She also didn't have her hat so her ears were on display
John had no reason to lie so he just told them what happened
”About that... I raided a bandit base...” Said john with a nervous smile
”You did what?!” Serena nearly shouted
”Did you get hurt?” Ariel asked
”Nope, I'm fine...”
”That's good, but it's still dangerous” Said Ariel
”Why?” Asked Serena
”?”
John didn't know what she was asking
”Why did you go through the hassle just to get some medicine?” Serena asked
”Why? Because you looked like you were in pain.”
John noticed that serena's face looked a little redder, so he moved in closer to check. But Serena simply turned the other way
”Looks like your fever is getting worse, Ariel we should give her the medicine soon”
Ariel nodded
”You raided a bandit base just to get me medicine?”
”That was the main reason, but I might have lost my cool when I saw how they treated people they kidnapped.”
”... You never change...” Serena muttered
”Is that a bad thing?”
”No... I don't mind either way” Said Serena
She was turned away from john so he couldn't tell what she was thinking.
Ariel opened the medicine bottle
”Ah, Ariel, can I try that real quick?” John asked
”Eh? Why?” Ariel asked
”To make sure it's not poisonous or anything” Said John
”Alright, but it looks just like a regular cold medicine potion” Said Ariel
”I know, but I'm still worried, it was with the bandits after all...” Said john before opening it
He took a sip and waited. After a short while, nothing happened, and it certainly wasn't poisonous.
”It's good” Said John as he handed it over to serena
”Ah, should I get a different bottle because I-”
Before john could finish, Serena suddenly began drinking the whole bottle. At the same time, John realised that it was like an indirect kiss, and it made him wonder if she also thought the same
After serena drank it, she quickly laid back down and at the same time she muttered something
”Thank you...”
