[b]-Felix & Randy-[/b]

They had long since lost track of the beowolves chasing them, but just to be safe they had kept running, not feeling like gambling with their lives. Finally it seemed that they had even made it free of the forest. To the left they saw a circle of pillars and-

"Wait, wait, wait!" Randy shouted, screeching to a halt. "Umm, think we're safe?" Felix also slowed to a stop, though he glanced about nervously. 

"I... can't say anything for sure..." He shrugged, shoving his hands in his pockets, his eyes still occasionally darting around as his anxiety ate at him.

"Well, I think we're good for the moment at least," Randy crossed her arms and smiled like she had an exciting secret to reveal.

"OK..." Felix said, glancing at her. After a few moments passed he shifted his weight. "Umm, why are w-"

"Look!" Randy grabbed his shoulders and spun him to face the pillars.

". . . Oh." Somehow he'd missed that. How embarrassing. "The... treasure?"

"Probably, let's go!" She would have dragged him, but Felix seemed to have an aversion to being touched, so she just made sure he was following her. Inside they found many pedestals, all with various stones atop them. "Wow, yeah this has to be it! This is way too abnormal!"

"Umm... they're... rocks," Felix frowned in confusion. Treasure? Some of them weren't even impressive at all, being white and rough.

"Ohhh, I know what these are!" Randy's eye brightened. "I think these are volcanic rocks! This black glass looking stuff is obsidian, that white stuff is pumice... and... well I don't know what the rest of it is, but it's probably volcanic still!" Besides the glossy black rock, the porous white rock, there were two other kinds. One was like the pumice, but much darker in color, and one other was a smooth, lightly colored stone, but not glossy or slick like the obsidian.

"Err... so... we take one?" Felix asked ,glancing around. How much did it matter which one they took? Was this a big decision, or-

"I like this one!" Randy grabbed one of the dark, porous rocks, a scoria rock, not that Randy knew its name. "I feel like it's familiar but different." Well, it seemed it was out of Felix's hands. He sighed and pinched the bridge of his nose. How long was this day going to last? He wanted it to be over now. This Randy girl was just... so... difficult, and he barely even knew her yet. Would she get better or worse as that changed?

Suddenly Randy sat down and leaned against a pillar. Felix tilted his head in confusion. Was she... what was she doing?

"Ran... dy?" Felix spoke quietly, as usual, with a hint of confusion in his voice.

"Join me! We should take a break after all that running. Besides, this is the first goal. Look, none of the other rocks have been taken, meaning everyone is still headed here. Eventually we're going to be a team or four, right? So there's nothing wrong with waiting for more people and then having some help on the way out. It's not a competition after all." Randy idly tossed the "treasure" up and down as she spoke. She was actually quite relaxed, somehow. Also she made a surprising amount of sense.

"Oh..." Felix looked around one last time, before sitting at the base of a pillar opposite her. Well, he was a little winded he supposed. She'd impressed him with her plan, so he'd follow along for now.
