Let's not hang around for another Avalanche

Caligari left the digging to those who were keen to do it and looked around at the others briefly then pushed her way past to scramble up the tunnel like a four legged spider and out onto the snow. She wasn’t sure what to make of the party she’d joined, probably because she hadn’t actually joined them; not formally. There hadn’t been time to get into all of that before. Now was the calm after the battle and as good a time as any.

“Up Up Up. Let’s get a move on.” She offered her harsh encouragement down the hole to those still lingering below. That they would not appreciate her further involvement was a real possibility, but not one that she’d rightly considered. She’d been anticipating their encountering one another in one semblance or another for so long that she often forgot to distinguish between the prophecy, reality and the past. Right now, though she was feeling a touch of the clear headedness that she preferred not to endure.

Caligari bent and scooped up a handful of snow to munch on. After a moment she considered her hand then held it out to Luna. “Here Elf, drink.” Caligari was being all sorts of friendly now, not that it came across that way.

“Have any of you questions you would ask of me before we make our way from this valley?”
