After breaking up the 'children's fight', Hera huffed and made her way to the dining table with Leo and the others.
Dave and Xavier, who had been scolded and put in their place, trailed behind, exchanging glares. It was clear they had both had a restful sleep, as they were already on their feet and as energetic as ever.
Hera couldn't help but laugh at their antics, the liveliness they brought filling the room and making it feel like home every time they were around.
Since Rafael was injured, he cleverly played the pity card to secure a seat beside Hera on her left side, while Leo took full advantage of the situation and monopolized her right side. With no one daring to argue with Rafael's strategic move, he comfortably claimed his spot beside her.
'Ha! Who knew being injured could come with so many perks?' Rafael thought with a smug grin as he settled beside Hera.
