• the ninja interacting with morro😜

- 3rd point of view.

The knowledge of Morro's impending visit for dinner had spread throughout the ranks of the Ninja team. This information, divulged by Y/N, and zane, filtered through a series of personal interactions, ensured that each member of the ninja team would be present, albeit with varying degrees of awareness.

Lloyd and Jay, two cornerstones of the Ninja collective, were among the first to receive the details. They encountered Y/N, and in the course of their conversation, the enigmatic figure of Morro came to light. Eager to prepare for the unusual occasion, they absorbed the news with the utmost seriousness.

Similarly, Nya and Cole, despite being on separate paths earlier in the day, discovered the same revelation when they crossed paths with Zane. Known for his unparalleled tactical prowess and exceptional communication skills, Zane wasted no time in ensuring that his team members were informed.

However, Kai, the fiery and impulsive member of the group, remained in the dark. Kai's schedule and routine had kept him isolated from the currents of information that swept through the Ninja team. As the day progressed, it remained to be seen how he would react to the presence of Morro.

One by one, they filed into the spacious dining hall, accustomed to the routine of their confinement. This time, however, a subtle change in their circumstances stirred a modicum of curiosity. Unlike previous meals, the Ninja were not constrained by the cold embrace of metal cuffs, a concession to their behavior and the trust that had begun to grow between them and their captors.

Freed from physical restraint, the Ninja nonetheless remained subdued, their silence a testament to the tension that coursed through the room. They took their seats around the grand dinner table, arranged with an array of dishes befitting a formal banquet. Despite the spread, the allure of the food paled in comparison to the mystery that awaited them—the enigmatic Morro, whose presence loomed like a shadow over the proceedings.

Nervous energy pulsed through the air as the Ninja waited, the weight of anticipation etched on their faces. Each member of the team was acutely aware of the gravity of the situation, a shared understanding that spoke volumes without uttering a single word. Well other than, kai, of course.

Kai, a beacon of raw energy and impulsiveness, broke the oppressive silence that had settled over the gathering. His voice, though soft, carried a note of confusion as he queried the subdued demeanor of his companions. "Why's everyone so quiet?" He fidgeted in his chair, an unconscious manifestation of the unrest that brewed beneath his confident exterior.

"Shouldn't we be happy we don't have those horrible cuffs on today?" Kai's logic was straightforward, his apparent oblivion to the broader context revealing a truth about how secluded his experiences had been.

Cole, the ever-dependable earth elemental, turned to face Kai, his expression a study in contrasts—part surprise, part amusement. "You don't know?" The question hung in the air, a palpable invitation for the enlightenment Kai so clearly craved.

Nya, let out a frustrated breath, her eyes rolling heavenward. "Ugh, Kai!!" Her exasperation, while directed at Kai, was tempered by affection. "We're going to have dinner with Morro today because apparently, according to Zane, they don't want us to have problems with Morro when we all finally get out of here!"
