    Okayyy and now I’m going to write Yila…

    Oops @calidris I forgot about Leytera: 5’3 (I think…) with black curly hair falling to her mid-back. Light brown eyes. She’s small-boned and looks fragile. She’s from a highly advanced technological society and carries about three small gadgets with her. She’s completely incompetent with any type of weapon except an energy gun which she does not have on her. She’s introverted and very quiet, and she bites her lip when she’s nervous.

    Yila

    Yila glanced at Niarok. He nodded at her as he and Lorcan disappeared down the tunnel. She wrapped her cloak around her and retrieved her arrows and her target, placing the arrows back in her quiver and her knife back in its sheath.

    She collapsed the target and shoved it in her pack before yanking out her sleeping roll.

    That nuisance Leytera stood shivering in the corner where she’d been for the past ten minutes or more. Yila rolled her eyes.

    “You heard Niarok! Let’s get in a circle to conserve our body heat,” she commanded.

    Acyn was already climbing up the wall. And Sahar was going with him.

    Yila huffed. No one listened to her. Whatever.

    She huddled up against the wall and wrapped herself in the blanket. Leytera still stood on the far side.

    “Leytera! Get over here!” Yila snapped.

    Leytera jumped, blinked several times, and crept across the floor.

    “Do you have anything to keep warm in?” Yila asked.

    Leytera shook her head.

    Yila sighed and held out one of her arms the way Niarok often did. Leytera crawled in beside her and snuggled close to her. Yila did her very best not to recoil from the unwanted touch. Leytera’s body was warm.

    The strange armored man named Klein came stomping into the cavern from the direction of the jungle. He was covered in… snow?

    But it didn’t snow in this region. At least, not the region Niarok and Yila had come from.

    Okay…

    Yila shook her head and focused instead on the firewood Klein brought.

    He dropped it in front of Yila and Leytera and struck it with some sort of flaming device. It blazed up. Then he crouched next to Leytera, and the three lone figures waited for Niarok and the rest of the company to come back.
