Mara sat quietly; all the chattering and emotions bubbling around her made it hard for her to think. There was an introduction she tried to pay attention to, offering her shy smile to each in turn.

"There were two planes," she said quietly. A line appeared in her forehead when two of the men started going on about leaving. Leaving? Wait, these strangers just came out of the jungle and were expecting her and Faith to just walk off with them like that? Into the jungle? With the sun going down?
"I just met you," she said uncomfortably. "I'm not running off into that place with a bunch of strangers on their say-so with night coming. I'm sorry. That's asking way too much."
