After a few days of "hydrotherapy," Lovia felt she had fully recovered. Her limbs were filled with familiar strength (or energy), and her appetite had returned to normal levels.
As for returning to Fontaine, she had temporarily put it out of her mind. She would return sooner or later anyway; it was just a matter of timing. Moreover, she had learned about the exact condition of this body from her "father," making her feel even more relieved now that her illness was gone.
She bought a dark blue soft leather case and carefully wrapped the token inside.
The "pen case" fit the quill pen perfectly, leaving enough of an edge at the top to pull it out, like a small sheath. There was also a small component on the back for securing it (not sure what the securing thing is called, just making it up, hehe).

This quill pen was too important to be placed carelessly, and even less so to be lost.
After much thought, Lovia eventually attached the leather case to the upper part of her arm, securing it firmly. (I know you'll say it might fly off, but let's just assume it won't, okay?)
Then, she stood up and walked to the mirror to examine herself.
The dark blue leather pen case rested quietly there, with clean lines that weren't obtrusive at all; instead, it looked like a carefully chosen accessory.
It looks quite nice! Lovia grinned and made a "V" sign to herself in the mirror.
She was no longer a little one who needed to hide, and this quill pen wasn't a "useless" thing anymore; it had become a part of her.
This is good, she thought.
Let the most conspicuous place become the safest hiding spot. From this moment on, the token and she were truly inseparable.
She patted it gently, feeling an unprecedented sense of security.
However, once her health recovered and the token issue was resolved, a bit of embarrassment began to surface in her heart.
Lovia recalled her miserable state from a few days ago, as well as Xingqiu's timely help and that thoughtful Lotus Crisp.
"I have to go thank him," Lovia muttered.
She didn't want to be indebted to anyone, especially for kindness shown in a time of need; she definitely had to go thank him in person.
But one should bring a gift when visiting to say thanks, right? She had no experience with this.
What should she give? Ore? But giving ore directly seemed a bit strange. Mora? That seemed even weirder... After much consideration, Lovia decided on the simplest and most foolproof method—giving some fruit.
As long as it's a visit, no matter the reason, you can't go wrong with this! Lovia thought with a grin.
So, she once again wrapped herself in that versatile but now unnecessary hooded cloak. She carefully selected a bag of the freshest, most tempting-looking Berries and Sunsettias. After some mental preparation, she finally headed toward the Feiyun Commerce Guild.
Actually, she didn't need to wear the hooded cloak anymore; even if she were exposed, she wasn't afraid of being thrown in jail.
It was just that over the past few months, she had grown accustomed to covering herself up completely whenever she went out. Now, suddenly "exposing" herself to the public eye still felt very uncomfortable and strange.
