Bab 116: Retiring with purpose

Orion couldn't help but release a tired and exasperated groan when he realized he had overslept, failing to wake up as early as he had intended. However, as he glanced out of the window at the sky, which was on the brink of exploding with the first rays of the morning sun, he knew he still had a chance to reach the village chief's compound on time if he hurried to the well and briskly walked back home.

Without a moment to waste, he snatched up a clay pot used for fetching water and grabbed a plump Kalna fruit before quickly and quietly making his way towards the well. The wind rushed past his ears as he ran, determined to make it on time. Although he was exerting himself more than usual, the prospect of indulging in another intimate session with Fiona was more than enough motivation to keep him going.
