"That looks useful."
Diane said as she pointed at Ezra's gloves.
"It is."
Ezra replied simply and directly.
He rolled his arms once, then brushed away the snow that had gathered across his coat and shoulders during the battle. Some of the snow had already begun melting from his body, leaving patches of dampness across his clothes.
"The noise from our battle must have already alerted the Elder Ghost Crawler that we are here."
Ezra said this while walking toward one of the remaining flames. The fire was weak now, but it still gave off enough heat for him to dry some of the damp parts of his clothes.
He also reached into his Space Bag and took out another dose of his Heat-Stimulating Pills and a bottle of water.
He placed the pill into his mouth and swallowed it with a small amount of water.
Diane looked toward the deeper parts of the forest.
Her expression remained plain, but her eyes had become more focused.
"I sense more Young Ghost Crawlers incoming."
She paused.
