"They're back?" Aviel's eyes lit up with surprise.
Perfect. He could finally give Nina those things tonight.
As soon as he spoke, Pado and Taor arrived.
"My lord, we've brought everything you asked for. Please take a look."
They handed him the spatial stone.
Aviel accepted it with a smile. "I'll check it later. I need to finish Nina's snacks first."
Pado watched him, then sighed with emotion. "My lord is becoming more and more like a proper mate."
"No kidding. His cooking is even better than ours now," Viann added.
"All thanks to Nina's guidance," another one said.
"If I could find a female like Nina, I'd happily become like this too," Taor chimed in.
Aviel shot him a glance. "Why are you still standing there? Go do your work."
There was only one Nina. He could forget about it.
He turned to Viann. "Is everything I asked for ready?"
"My lord, everything is prepared," the male replied.
"Good." Aviel nodded and continued making the snacks.
