There was a chill in the air as Pike awoke from her light slumber to take the next shift for watch. Or at least, she assumed it was approaching that time. She hadn’t truly been sleeping for some time and so it seemed a waste to continue in vain. She moved closer to the fire for a few moments to warm her limbs - not the most advanced of tasks when one is nearly the same height as the fire itself. Seeing Scanlan sitting on the outskirts of the group, she approached.
❝ Hey, Scanlan. ❞ She moves to take a seat on the ground next to him.
❝ M’up if you want to get some sleep. It’s early though, so if you want, we can talk for a bit? ❞
“ Ah-- good morning... evening... never can tell what time it is on watch... “
The chill was just starting to get to him. Hands rubbed together as quickly as they could without giving away that he was absolutely freezing to the core. “ I’m guessing sleep just wasn’t doing it for you then? “ Truth be told, he could hear her rustling around the whole time. It wasn’t like he’d point out that he’d been paying more attention to the sounds he heard behind him than the expanse of mysterious and unknown dangers that could’ve been lurking in the shadows beyond their camp.
