Bone Hunters and Skopio

Chapter Six: Bone Hunters and Skopio
[Authors note at end of chapter]

Sapphira hummed in her sleep as the sunrise hit her closed eyes making the bluette immediately hide her face from the sun with her arm with a groan in annoyance.

Unfortunately for the cave home Kiina resided in when she was in Vulcanus was meant to house one Glatorian when visiting, so Sapphira and Kiina managed to get a small cot in the main room for Sapphira to sleep in.

Which the said bluette was laying on top of all the blankets. With the heat Vulcanus had Sapphira felt even if she was butt naked, she would still be overheating. Sapphira buried her face into the pillow she had with a grumble in annoyance.

Kiina walked in as she fumbled her shirt on with her sleep still there before she looked at Sapphira.

"Didn't sleep well?" She asked the bluette who lifted her head up from her pillow. "I got like, two or three hours of sleep in me. It's way too hot for me to be even slightly comfortable." Sapphira said with a hint of exhaustion in her voice.

Kiina snorted slightly though she pitied the bluette, having a feeling her planet wasn't so uncomfortable as Bara Magna was with the heat. "Can't stand the heat huh?" She asked her while crossing her arms over her chest.

Sapphira snorted at that as she sat on the side of the makeshift cot. "Dude, I felt like I could've been butt naked and still would've been overheated." Kiina couldn't help but howl in laughter at that statement.

Sapphira rolled her eyes and stretched her back till it popped. "Eh I've dealt with a day with a lot less if not zero hours of sleep before, this should be easier." Sapphira said as she popped her neck with a side twist.

"If we're lucky we don't get ambushed on the way," Kiina said as she grabbed a fruit and tossed it to Sapphira who caught it with ease, "Every single day on this planet is a roll of the dice to see if you live with it only getting slightly better depending on your fighting and survival skills." Kiina said as she grabbed another fruit and bit into it.

Sapphira made a quiet wince noise at that. "Lordy, well I should consider myself and Mata lucky we have two great Glatorian going with us." She said as she took a bite of the fruit she had.

The bluette paused a bit at how juice filled the fruit was, it had a strong sweetness that was balanced with a bit of sour that wasn't uncomfortable, it made it delicious. Kiina snorted slightly, "Good to know." She said as she continued to eat. Sapphira continued to eat too, trying to eat at a decent pace.

Kiina then paused and raised a brow noticing something with the bluette, she was literally steaming! Sapphira had steam emitting from her person as if she was hot water encountering the chill air.
