Ariel did exactly what Aric asked; she instructed that all construction work be called off for the day, and every worker should take a rest. The hunting team gathered food and a feast was getting cooked. Turned out the female ogres had a lot of knowledge on cooking, and where to find the best natural ingredients in the entire forest.
While everyone was busy getting the food ready, Aric met with Ron, Gunam, and Lucas. He stood amidst the houses, observing their work closely, and then after a few minutes of watching, he spoke.
"You guys really did a good job, that's all I can say."
"Thank you, Master Aric, but it was your guidance that allowed us to come this far," Ron said, as usual trying to push the praise to Aric.
