He rubbed at the stubble on his chin, which had grown too fast for his liking, with a callused hand and brought his gaze to bear on the couple."You two look kitted out pretty good; I don't suppose you have any map data, do you? Name's Calven Jokairo, by the way, and I used to do this kind of thing for a living. I think with the whole lot of us working together, we're going to be okay." He gave what he hoped looked like a reassuring smile and stuck out his hand to the pair.He scanned the canopy and the sky appraisingly with a seasoned eye, "Nightfall would be in a few hours, and it looks like it'll be a cold one. Now, Ryn here..." He gestured to the young man, "...has been kind enough to get us this far in one piece and the jungle's a lot less hostile to us than hard vacuum. We'd be well off to get some way away from the ship, find some shelter from the wind and make time to bivvy down for the night. Maybe put someone up a tree to take a better look." And you know who that'll be, old man... "I'd suggest hanging fire on a more long-term course of action 'till we can discuss it more, over rations. Anybody got any other smart ideas?"He looked about the circle of sentients, muttering softly to Oraltor next to him "That sound okay? It's been a while."</blockquote>
