"My name is Ivy," Kai recognized the voice that had called loudly earlier and at first only saw an outstretched hand because he was still on the ground and a little confused. He looked up and saw the girl who belonged to the voice and a few others looking friendly at him. A positive turn of events. As he learned, Ivy and the small group were heading towards his hometown. Hoping for an opportunity to thank Ivy and her group for their help, even if only with a refreshing glass of water, he decided to turn around and return as well. His shopping in town could wait a while and be done another day. For today he was just happy and satisfied that he met nice people. For the moment, he didn't even want to get upset about the previous events or think much about them. And so the little group walked along the path, chatting about this and that.
