The next morning Aira found herself and Cora inside Henry's trailer in the set. Kal was resting at the foot of the bed while Aira was bargaining with Cora so that the toddler would put on a sweater. Cora wanted to put on her violet sweater instead of the green one which Aira held up.

"Buggy, that is dirty. You pour Orange juice on it. Remember." Aira was begging.

"No." Cora huffed. Aira looked up to the ceiling.

"Krishna! Give me strength." She muttered.

Just then the trailer door opened the door to reveal Freya, followed by Anya and Joey. All three of them in their costume. Freya's costume looked more boyish than the previous season, while Anya's and Joey's remained the same.

"Feyaaaa!!!!" Cora squealed and raised her hands to the girl.

"Hey, Bug." Freya scooped her up. The two girls grinned at each other. Freya kissed Cora's cheeks.

"How is our favourite niece doing?" Joey asked in a baby voice, causing Cora to blush.

Aira chuckled, Cora was enamoured by Joey.

"Hey, Sorry about them." Anya greeted her.

"It's okay." Aira smiled. Anya noticed the sweater in Aira's hand.

"Refusing to wear it?"

"Yep wants to wear her favourite one. But she poured juice on it." Freya noticed their conversation.

" Hey, Bug is that your sweater?" Freya asked her.

"No!" Cora looked as if she was horrified by the idea of the sweater being her's.

"Too bad I thought we could wear the same colour." Freya indicated to her green shirt. Aira gaped as Cora readily extended her hands for the sweater.

"Thank you." She mouthed to Freya. Aira helped Cora into her sweater. Freya smiled.

"Dada??" Cora asked her.

"Dada is getting ready for work," Aira said as she combed Cora's hair. Joey was looking at her, scrutinizing. Aira knew this would be happening. She just smiled at him.

"Wok?" Cora asked, "like when I go to the hospital." Aira explained.

"Dada wok you?" Joey snorted. Aira sent a glare at his direction.

"No, your Dada doesn't work with me. He works with Joey, Anya and Freya here." Aira said.

Just then Henry walked into the trailer in his full Geralt costume. Aira stood there open-mouthed. This was way better than how he looked on screen. The costume hugged his figure, he looked rugged, she couldn't see Henry all she could see was Geralt. The amber eyes, white-blond hair till his shoulder pulled into a man bun, his broad shoulder and the leather armour all of it hinted nothing but Geralt. 'What have they done to our man?' The pessimist screamed. 'He looks hot, but not our type.' The optimist stated in agreement. Just then he smiled, that smiled he had only for her and Cora. Her heart fluttered. 'There he is!' They chorused.

" Mukh bandh kr, makhi jaayenge." Anya teased her. Aira shut her mouth immediately. Freya and Anya giggled. Aira felt her face turning hot, so badly she wished she had her tan back. Nope! Even then she would look like the beetroot she is now. Cora noticed her father standing at the doorstep. She couldn't recognise Henry, Cora hid her face into the crook of Aira's neck.

"Why don't we go outside? It's becoming a bit crowded in here." Henry suggested. Everyone nodded in agreement. Cora lifted her face on hearing her father's voice but couldn't find him. She looked at Aira confused.
