Hello

04.35 Kaia is trying to cast a pellet? Seems like some kind of liquid instead...

Frequently lowering head and raising it again, swollowing




She shakes her head, liquid squirts around..


She coughs once. It looked like something was making her throat uncomfortable.
Hopefully she got some relief.

Karl heard that Kaia is already awake and active and called her off the curved branch.
