At that moment, she noticed many women with tools, carrying baskets on their backs. Among them was Arin.

"Arin!" Nina called out. "Are you all going to gather herbs this early?"

"Yes," Arin replied. "Early is best. Some herbs retract once the dew dries. Plus, we can also gather bamboo shoots. It's the season for them!"

"I'll join you," Nina offered, thinking she had nothing else to do and was eager to help.

"Great, I'll get you a basket and tools," Arin responded warmly.

Nina quickly integrated with them and joined them in gathering herbs on the mountain. Some of the women, noticing her delicate appearance, doubted her capabilities. One remarked, "Can you manage this?"

Nina confidently replied, "I can handle it. I'm stronger than I look," in the Yaren language. Though her pronunciation was still rough, she understood their words and could respond in kind.
