When Hayes arrived a few minutes later, Kamille and Rise were already by the bed, both sitting close to each other and talking in a light tone.
They had not actually delved into a much deeper conversation yet, and Kamille seemed to be taking Rise's hunger into consideration. As it turned out, Rise's joking guess about the food being prepared for him was true.
A couple of days ago, Kamille had begun to instruct Hayes about it, with the intuition that Rise would wake up around this time. Rise's obsession with food was not a secret for Kamille or all the party members.
"Guild Leader," Hayes called respectfully when he saw Kamille, which only earned a nod. Rise did not even look at him and only had his eyes on the food.
Hayes felt bitter, but what could he do? He could only sort by asking for permission to leave. He certainly did not want to be a third wheel. During this time, Rise did not even notice his presence as he began munching down the foods the other prepared for him.
