Tea.
She'd heard of it before—lotus tea. Calming, light. Maybe… just maybe, it could help with her headaches.
With her arms full and her feet soaked, Kaya walked back toward camp—her mind already planning what she could do next.
After returning to camp, Kaya quickly changed into dry clothes. She'd barely finished tying the last knot on her sash when all the groups began to return—one after another, almost in sync.
