Khione carefully selected ripe fruits, including juicy strawberries, crisp apples, and succulent oranges, slicing them into bite-sized pieces. The colors were a feast for the eyes, each hue representing the freshness of the morning.
Nero joined her, helping to chop the vegetables—crunchy cucumbers, sweet bell peppers, and a handful of leafy greens. They mixed everything together in a bowl, adding a handful of nuts for a delightful crunch. As Khione drizzled a light vinaigrette over the top, the aroma of the fresh ingredients filled the air, invigorating them both.
