Mia nestled further into Shard's embrace, leaving only the top half of her face exposed. As she looked around, her eyes caught sight of the burning campfire, the flames seeming to be suspended in the amber eyes of a cat, yet it did not leap out from Shard's embrace.
Because cats dislike rain.
Of course, it was so dark all around that Shard did not notice that when Mia appeared, the deity fishing at sea seemed to turn slightly to glance over. But that didn't matter, as he, along with Miss Teresa, had already awakened the other three ladies.
Their spirits were in very poor condition, much worse than Miss Teresa, who could still cry, blush, and be curious. Upon awakening by Shard, they couldn't recall what they did while unconscious, and only felt somewhat invigorated when they stretched out their hands to warm themselves by the campfire.
