Riley would listen to Ellie about her stories of the cold winters, she couldn't help but smile and let out a gentle giggle in response to her words. "Heh.. Uh.. I. If you were hoping to get away from the cold the best place to go would be California, not Nevada.. It's so cold here at night." She'd say with a small smile, trying to be funny but mindful of perhaps being rude to the girl.

She'd swallow gently, watching as Ellie would reach for her map, she couldn't help but thing how well equipped and prepared she was compared to herself, but then again, it was rather clear that Ellie had been by herself and homeless for far longer than she had. Crawling herself over closer towards Ellie in a slow manner, she'd allow her eyes to glare upon the map, tracing her fingertips along the top of the paper and trying to make sense of the possible directions. "So uhm.. There isn't any rail tracks towards Vegas from here, so you need to hitch a ride along route 50 back towards Ely.. then uhm.. Down south along route 93, then you just stay on that road straight until you get to Highway uhm.. 15? Yeah.. I think that will take around five hours or something..?" She'd say with a gentle cough, tilting her head towards the girl when she asked if they could travel together, her eyes widening slightly.

Riley had only just met this girl, but something about her was alluring and comforting, Riley wanted to stick close to her like she was some form of shiny beacon in the darkness. After-all, going with her was better than remaining all alone by herself with no know-how on how to look after herself. Riley would give a small half smile towards Ellie, rubbing the back of her own neck with a free hand.

"Sure.. Let's go to Vegas." She'd say with a slightly confident manner and a smile on her lips.
