Num finally turns to look at Ísja and Lani.
NUM: "We'll stay the night."
Ísja grins from ear to ear.
ÍSJA: "Wait, really!?"
His hands fly to his face and he shuts his eyes in tired glee.
ÍSJA: "Phew! Thank the Saints. I'm so tired..."
Unfazed by his brother's reaction, Num wanders past him and toward Lani. He stops a few steps away from her, then raises a finger and narrows his eyes at her.
NUM: "You swear you'll give us directions tomorrow?"
LANI: "Yeah. I might even be able to take you to this "Pocket" myself."
She points toward the pathetic mattress in the corner with her head.
LANI: "You're welcome to sleep there. I'll just take the chair."
The mattress couldn't look less appealing. Both boys stare at it.
NUM (through gritted teeth): "Greeeeat. Thanks."
Resigned to his fate, he wanders toward the mattress. Behind him, Ísja grins and claps a hand onto Lani's shoulder, making her jump.
ÍSJA: "Yeah! Thanks for the help, Lani!"
He takes his hand off her shoulder but remains smiling.
ÍSJA: "I mean it."
For the first time, a hint of a smile crosses Lani's face.
