Sisi waited until Jojo was fast asleep before carefully placing him on a pile of leaves. She picked up the bird Jojo had hunted and her flask, then quietly stepped out of the cave.
She used her power to cover the cave entrance with vines so Jojo would remain safe while she was gone.
After what happened a week ago—when he had been left alone for a long time while she went to the riverside—Jojo had developed a fear of being left by himself. He insisted on following Sisi everywhere. Even when she only wanted to take a quick bathroom break, he would stand nearby to make sure she didn't go too far.
Even during hunts, Sisi noticed that Jojo would stare at her for a long moment, ensuring she stayed rooted in place before he dashed off. He had grown clingy ever since that incident.
Personally, Sisi didn't fully understand why he had become so attached.
