"Alright, alright. Drink some water first, then have some fruit," Rafael said, placing a cup of warm water beside Hera. Zhane took it and gently helped her sip, while Rafael speared a pear and waited patiently for her to finish before offering her a bite.
"Am I not getting any?" Leo teased, flashing Rafael a playful smile, though it was clear he was just looking to spar with him. Zhane shook his head, feigning exasperation as if to say, 'kids…' at the two.
The easy, playful atmosphere eased Hera's mind, and she watched them with crescent-shaped eyes, quietly smiling at their happiness.
Rafael rolled his eyes, but after feeding Hera a pear, he carefully used a separate fork to serve Leo. Leo, after taking a bite, smiled at Rafael just as Hera had, and seeing this, Hera couldn't help but let out a light laugh.
She noticed Rafael's exasperated expression, while Zhane simply looked resigned, as if he had long accepted that the people around him, well, the men, were all childish.
