"Mr. Lockwood?" She looked up at Orion with confusion. In the next moment, brion poured the water from the leaf into an empty water bottle.
"I want to try your filtered water too." What? Before Xanthea could react, Orion tilted his head back, his Adam's apple bobbing as he swallowed. It wasn't a joke; he was actually drinking it.
He was really drinking river water? Although she had done sbasic treatment and filtering, the facilities were rudimentary, and the water surely still contained simpurities and bacteria.
The trainees had no other options; swater was better than none. But he had bottled water available, so why on earth would he drink the river water she had? Plus, wasn't he known for being a germaphobe? The camera zoomed in on Xanthea's surprised face as Orion took a sip and then handed the water back to her.. Xanthea saw how he had performed a sleight of hand under the camera, her eyes widening in astonishment. He returned not the bottle filled with river water, but a bottle of real bottled water. The two bottles looked identical, with nearly the samount of water and no distinguishing marks on the caps it was impossible to tell them apart.

The trainees gathered around him, sorting through the catch with joy, "This little crayfish is so cute, it's still crawling!" "This catfish is huge, Martin, how did you catch it?" "Big fish are easy to catch; it's the small ones are not!" "Now that we've got the ingredients, how should we cook them?" There's nothing much on this island; we have to grill them, right?” You guys figure it out, I'm going to get swater!"
Martin put down the fish and went to Xanthea for a drink. Nelson, Isabella, and Rachel huddled together to m disquss How to grill the fish, while el Olivia stood alone on the side, her eyes reddening as she watched their joyful camaraderie.

Olivia, why don't you try sof Xanthea's purified C. "Yo?m Everyone else has, including her, and they're all fine." Shut up!" Olivia snapped at her. She'd rather die of thirst than drink Xanthea's water!
