The relief she felt didn’t allow her to be suffused with the right amount of anger to even feign the barest amount of annoyance to cover the obvious joy in her eyes. It was there just a second but a second too long for the vulnerability it showed.
And she spoke far too soon almost in reaction to the wave of something akin to embarrassment that washed over her at being caught so close; the moment in which she currently found herself thinking what a novelty it was to be touched and not want to smack away the offending thing instantly.
“You say the most ridiculous things.” She muttered gruffly heat traveling across her cheeks and down her neck masking her concern badly as she continued sitting back to give the girl some air “Do you feel any pain? There may be very slight aches but apart from that…how do you feel?”

Heaven nodded shortly at the reply "Right. Those should go in their own time. I'm sure you are used to aches" she said stating the obvious for a lack of anything to say a hint of awkwardness descending.
"Well when you're ready we can continue." she murmured suddenly drained and now returning to quiet contemplation.

Ri lay back down and sighed "well thanks i could use a rest" she closed her eyes and rested them but was still awake she just listened for the sounds, Ri opened her eyes when the sound of water reached her ears they twitch "hmmm waterfall" she said before closing her eyes once more, it must be a cave waterfall that was on the inside, it would be a nice place to stop for a drink once they reached it.

At the words Heaven realised she might have been remiss in not providing something to drink. It sounded close enough falling with a relaxing sound of its own. As her eyes closed again she got up to bring back a drink the action sorely needed as she left with little explanation and returned a few minutes later with even less. Her return quiet as she left a water bottle next to Ri and returned to her seat with a fraction of a smile. Leaning back she ran a hand through her hair the side of her lips turning up at the feeling of her fingers against her scalp. Only then did she speak.
"Something to drink..." she said quietly perhaps even sheepishly tinged.

Ri smiled and took the water and took a drink from loving how the cool water felt in her dry mouth. Once the bottle was empty she turned to Heaven "thanks" getting up she gave a stretch and offered Heaven a hand "you read to keep moving"

Heaven eyed the offered hand suspiciously for a few seconds; as if she expected at any moment something might jump forth and when it seemingly didn't looked up at Ri. However far from a cold suspicious gaze it was questioning even if slightly hard edged.
"Are you sure you are completely ready to resume?" she asked voice flat as she finally took the offer but effectively rose on her own mindful not to pull on the girl.

Ri smiled as Heaven stood up moving closer she grasped the girls hand "i am not made of glass, Heaven i won't break if you touch me" she whispered to the girl "and yeah i am fine to walk forward with you towards what i hope is the end of this damn cave," she let go of the girls hand and moved forward keeping her ears open for anymore monsters that might come for Heaven. She let her tail swish from side to side as she walked.

"Well I know that." she muttered in a surly manner trying to hide the warm flush that washed over her again.
However she didn't say any more than that unable to currently find any way of ridding herself of the most annoying sense of quiet happiness. No matter how much she pouted and she did now, a slight, rather annoyed one that graced her features with an aloof disinterest as she followed at her own pace. As she did she looked back quietly at the feeling of being watched. She dismissed it for now as irrational and yet still remained on alert as they headed out of the caves and into the surrounding light.
Squinting slightly after the more dulled lighting of the cave she took in a deep breath in the sharp initial bounce of sunlight off pure white snow.

"It's just the light bouncing off the snow and the fact that we've been in dulled lighting for awhile." She almost explained but stopped herself as her lips parted to say the first word thinking it a rather obvious thing.
As her gaze slowly adjusted to the light she took a look around her squint slowly opening up on the scene spread before them. Everything was still snow touched but then after the cave the fresh air and freedom overshadowed any distaste she had for the snow. Looking ahead she smiled, a small satisfied little thing that sat on the corner of her mouth and made her look really rather pleased with herself in a lofty kind of way. The effect was complete when a small breath of wind whistled along silently brushing the ends of her hair past her nose.
Pointing ahead silently she indicated the entrance ahead towering shortly above the tall branches of trees left stark and empty. That had to be what they were looking for there wasn't anything else that stood out here. It didn't look like much, she wasn't close enough to yet notice the intricate carvings from where she was it was just a seemingly large slab of wood; much like someone had left an unwanted door in a mound of snow cradled by trees. Looking round a bit more she found that there was a rocky path that could be taken down the edge of the mountains and past the frozen flats that led towards it. Heaven had a suspicion it might be a frozen river. It was too flat to be much else.
She was already moving again thinking they weren't far now and she'd like to find out sooner rather than later if it was the entrance or not. Any kind of fatigue she might have felt, any concerns all were lost as she went focused entirely on getting to that slab in the snow.
For a moment she did remember something...just one thing... "Come on."

Ri smiled and walked behind Heaven taking the air in "so is it just me or does the path look like a frozen river...?"
