Raine continued to sleep peacefully, giving the occasional small cough in her sleep.

"A dinosaur skeleton," answered Jade, "It's fused into the rock, so we're looking for an expert on paeolontology to identify it and who would know what to do with it."
~~~~~
"The little girl's fine, just very shook up. She's with her mother now," said Ebony, "Delfina is exhausted from fending off the wolves and resting by the campfire now."
~~~~~
As she slept, Delfina's nose twitched, her sense of smell even working when she was unconscious. She could smell roasting meat cooking on the fire and that let her know that she was hungry.
She began to wake up slowly.

The aircraft sniffed quizzically at the strange smells of cooking animal flesh, but it was just another scent that they would get used to. The meat, cut into side sections and roasts, had been cooking slowly over the coals throughout the night.
"Tess is off checking on that sick girl, so I don't really know who else we could talk to." Darcy hmm'd.
Tess continued to talk to Doc about Raine's planned move to RS and the possibility of some of the humans migrating there.

Raine winced in her sleep, her feverish face contorting in pain.

Delfina had woken for only a moment, but then fell back asleep. In the morning, she'd be well-rested, but feel very hungry.
~~~~~
"Well, we're not in a big rush or anything," said Jade, "We can wait until she's done visiting so we can speak to her."
~~~~~
Ebony had chosen to keep close to the campfire for the night, seeking the warmth of the flames. She could smell the meat cooking, but paid it little heed at the moment.

Doc went back over to Raine and put a damp cloth across her forehead, as the nurse had shown him.
"Okay." Darcy nodded. She scratched the ears of one of the goats with her antenna.
Tess finally concluded her visit and welfare check on Raine, and went back to the center court.

Jade saw Tess come into the center court and went over to her.
"Ricardo and Phoenix found a dinosaur skeleton deep in one of the caves," she said, as she glanced back to see the aforementioned couple also returning to the court, "They thought it was important to tell you about it."

Tess paused, hand on chin. "Where are they now?"
Doc once again settled by the bedside.
With a few staying up on watch, the camp gradually feel asleep.

"They've just come back," said Jade, "so they might be able to show you and a few others where it is later on. They know where it is."

"OK... thanks for letting me know." Tess smiled. "Maybe we should let them bring it up the matter on their own."
"Uh huh?" Doc answered. "Is there anything you wanted?"

Raine tried to lift her head, but she was still too weak to do so. "C-can I have something to drink please?"

"That's what I was thinking," nodded Jade, "They already look tired enough as it is. Best to wait until morning."
She then turned to go to her family's quarters, waving, "Well, I'd better go. I'll see you tomorrow."
~~~~~
In the meantime, Ricardo and Phoenix settled down in the alcove with the twins between them and soon drifted off.
