Yasmina smiles at Courana, "well then lead the way, I could use a nice warm bed about now or at the very least a blanket near a fire."
It doesn't take long for Courana to lead you to a dwelling in the twilight of the early morning. As she knocks on the door, you notice for the first time how small the door is—and, indeed, how small all the buildings are. They look an uncomfortably low height for a human settlement.
Yasmina looks about noticing the uncomfortable low height but shrugs to cold and tired to concern herself with it just happy to get a warm spot by a fireplace somewhere and get some much-needed rest. As small as it all seems she is not surprised having figured the pair had exaggerated the kind of reward they could expect but then Yasmina had waived any such thing knowing, in the end, she would only be disappointed. As Courana leads the way and enters the dwelling Yasmina follows behind.
After several seconds, the door to Courana's home opens. In the entryway stands a middle-aged halfling male in a night shirt. He looks in disbelief at Geradil and Courana for a few heartbeats, and then cries, "Courana!"
The human woman laughs and picks up the halfling in a bear hug. "Hello daddy!" she says happily.
"My precious girl!" says the halfling. He reaches over and grabs Geradil's ragged shirt, attempting to bring him into the embrace as well. He seems oblivious to your presence at the moment.
Yasmina watches and smirks thinking to herself, must be giant Halfing children well better than titanic Gnomes but does not voice her sarcastic joke as she watches the pair greet each other affectionately... waiting patiently.
As they enter the tiny home Bel watches patiently as the family embraces their child. Bel has no real memories of family only the orphanage. He give a small cough to bring everyone back to reality. “We need to rest then get back”

Yasmina flashes Bel a scowl as if to say give them their moment and looks at their hosts, "don't mind him, he has been slaying vicious orcs all day and is a bit grumpy... you know how men are, take your time."
Courana sets the halfling down and he looks you both over, wiping a tear from his eye. "I'm so sorry, " he sniffles. "Come in, everyone, and sit down! I'll get a fire going."
As her diminutive father gets the tinder box working, Courana tells him a very short version of events leading up to this moment, including an over-the-top heroic story of how the both of you defeated three orcs in a hard-fought battle.
Yasmina gives a friendly polite smile, "oh I had little part to play, it was all my heroic and brave friend Bel here, he deserves most if not all the credit, I could not have done it without him."
Bel grins a little at Yasmina “truth is we all had a part to play and it was all for survival” Bel is perplexed by Yasmina. He has never had someone be so kind to him. He takes a slow deep breath to calm his nerves even though he is worried about the others.

Yasmina flashes Bel a quick smile, "oh you are much too modest... we all know who the real hero is... every woman needs her knight in shining armor so don't take that away from us."
"Well, I'm glad for you both!" says Courana's father. "Thank you for bringing my daughter back to me. We thought for sure that she was gone forever. I'm not sure we can ever repay you for what you've done, but you are welcome here and welcome to anything and everything we have to give."
Yasmina smiles at Courana's father, "it was our pleasure, speaking for myself at least no reward is necessary nor desired but I cannot speak for my companion Bel here. For me, I would just like a nice warm place to curl up and get some sleep so tomorrow we can return to the orc lair and our companions."
Courana asks Geradil to make something to eat, which he does readily. She then goes to wake her mother and sisters, and moments later there is a shout from the other room: "Praise Yondalla!"
As you meet reach of them in turn, it turns out that the mother and sisters are halflings, as well.
"You are more than welcome in our home," says the mother after meeting you. "Are you wanting a meal? Or a lie-down? A bath?"
Yasmina again smiles, "thank you but for now all I want to do is just sleep... perhaps bath and meal after. I am exhausted and just want to sleep so if someone can just show me the way."
“Yes, rest and a meal after would be great,” Bel tells them. Trying to be as humble as he can “If maybe you could put together a healing kit or something in case our companions are in need when we get back?” He ask. “No more then that would be needed, thank you.” This is all so new to him. Helping people, someone being nice to him. The feeling is strange. He will need to meditate on this.

Geradil overhears your request. "Oh yes, I haven't forgotten! If you'd like I can have your healing kits ready to go while you sleep. My family will want to see me too." He sets a plate of pork sausage links and a drink in front of Courana before bidding you farewell and leaving to take care of the materials requested.
Meanwhile, Lana, GB, and Aregarak are feeling rested and refreshed—as much as one can be sleeping on a stone floor! It is the middle of the night; the only light current source are the flames burning in the entryway through the main door.

Lana opens her eyes feeling replenished and filled once more with purpose. She can sense her ancient elven teachings have restored her magical abilities and stretches as she quickly gets to her feet. Spirit lets out a soft groan as Lana moves her legs out from her sleepy cats head. Whispering to Spirit "come time to wake my friend." Picking up her pack from the ground and examining how many arrows she has left she went over to the dead orc at the stairs and ripped the arrow out of it while searching the rest of the body for anything of value. "Shall we continue or secure the entrance and mountain path for our companions return" she asks her new friends.
