Yahtzee stared at the two with a bleary-eyed expression as he tried to focus on the others around him to assess whether or not they were friend or foe. Both Will and Phil seemed to have warm reactions so Yahtzee assumed they were the former and he took a moment to try and check them out. The man struck him as someone that was on his last dregs of resistance and was pushing through with sheer force of will and Yahtzee felt an instant warmth towards the newcomer. The girl on the other hand... He had no idea what to make of the sleeping figure in the man's arms other than she looked like she had the right idea and Yahtzee had to suppress a yawn as he rubbed sleep out of his eyes.

He vaguely paid attention to Cora as she spoke and he felt a small twinge of remorse for the suffering that those around him had gone through. He turned his gaze to Cora and kept his eyes fixed on her hoping for an explanation of some sort and he followed when she went back into the cave and sat down next to her. Salamander got up and sauntered over to the newcomers and sniffed the man's legs for a moment before giving a dismissive sneeze. "Don't be rude Salamnder." Yahtzee said through another yawn. "I'm sure they're lovely people." He let his eyes drift closed for a moment but opened them again as Cora spoke about who these people were and he gave a brief nod of understanding.

"I'm Yahtzee" He said to Gilfred. "An honour I'm sure." He gave a sort of bow from his sitting position and Salamander made his way over to him and lay down beside him and started snoring softly within moments. Yahtzee looked at the sleeping dragon beside him and looked back at Gilfred and Thema then back at Salamander and then finally back them again. "Wow. He really likes you." He said to them as he lay down on his side near the dragon and rested his head his companion's side. Salamander gave an exaggerated snort but otherwise didn't object to being used like a pillow. "I'm listening to every word you say so don't mind me." Yahtzee said as he closed his eyes and struggled against actually falling asleep so that he could hear what Gilfred would have to say about the battle he had heard Cora mention.
