Nyx puffed out a lip as Melik denied her any information on Eleanor's powers; it wasn't fair, she had been with her the longest and yet one of the newest people to their group got to see them first! When the male mentioned wanting a type of 'bribe' to tell her, the woman's lips shifted to the side as she continued on beside him in silence for a few moments. As the snow seemed to create a deafening silence she said, "No cookies or milk sadly."

Her blue eyes shifted the the male as she said, "Fleeing as we had to, we weren't able to grab a whole lot. Obviously when it came to cookies or fruit, fruit won out." The blonde then weaved her fingers behind her head as she thought about what he said. "It's true thoug, Eleanor would have told us by now if she wanted. It's not like she really does things for no reason." Out of all of us, she's probably the best survivor, the woman then thought to herself.

At that point, Nyx's mind began to wander. It was upsetting to not know what the woman could do and if it could lead to her being in that state? Well, not knowing seemed more dangerous that to actually know. When Melik put a hand on her shoulder, she jumped, her eyes locking on the male's form quickly.

His comment brought a goofy grin to the woman's face and she said, "Oh, I know that! Without Eleanor, who knows how many of us would still be alive, or even free for that matter." A look came to her face, almost like thinking was causing the woman some discomfort. "Well, mostly free. We'll get to totally free at some point." She then nodded, truly believing those words herself.

Lydia tilted her head, allowing her to be able to glance back at Melik as he asked his next questions. Eyes returning forward she nodded saying, "You and Eleanor were able to provide more than enough of a distraction for us to get everyone out. Sadly, with the little warning many of our supplies had to be left behind, but the first of the hunting parties has already gone out."

Almost as if on queue, a howl echoed through the trees around them, though it wasn't fully wolf-like, it was deeper and more gutteral, yet had a more whimsical, lullaby sound to it. People wouldn't think anything of it though, why would they when all they knew was the local wildlife?

The blonde woman leading looked off into the darkness as she said, "And it looks like they know we're here." Her gaze then returning forward she continued, "LeAnn and the others are on first hunt it seems, the others will know we're coming back."

As a dark looming form started to slowly come into view through the heavy snow fall, a smaller form running towards them could be seen. "What happened? Is everyone ok?" Noah asked as she stopped in front of Reggie, causing him to stop as she put a hand on Eleanor's forehead. Lydia simply nodded, her eyes slowly closing as she said,

"Everyone is fine. Have beds been set for Eleanor and our newcomer?" The blonde woman nodded her head quickly.

"Yes, yes, everything is set up. I made sure to move people away from the beds to they can rest in peace." Noah then turned, taking the lead to their mini caravan. "Everyone's a bit shocked though. You may have your hands full when coming in with them. Pretty sure no one thought they would live, but they did! But Eleanor, when they heard she was being carried back, people were worried."

As they approached the cave entrance, it was dark. The woman with short blonde hair and crimson eyes wasn't even visible until they neared an even darker hole towards the back of the cave mouth. The woman simply watched, not saying anything as the group entered the winding, dark tunnels.
