After their delicious meal, they all went home for the night. Although they wanted to spend more time with Ark and catch up with him a little, sleep was essential. They had plenty of time to do other things tomorrow too, so they could just take things slowly. The most important part was for Ark to feel comfortable, They wanted him to feel like he was back to normality at least.
Ark himself could naturally see what they were trying to do, and he really appreciated it. Although he had suffered a lot, he didn't want anyone to feel bad for him or worry, so he decided to spare them the details of what he went through unless someone specifically asked. If Ephine or Thufrat truly wanted to know, it wasn't like he would lie to them or anything.
Hope you enjoyed the chapter! Also, let me know what you guys think of the new status page, tried to make it smaller, the other one was way too long to include in a chapter, but I think that showing the status every now and then would be good.
