The group considers their current situation, and come to the conclusion they could probably heat up some food, but enough of their rations are dry. And while the weather is getting colder, winter approaching, they should be fine without a fire as well and so, in the end, the effort is skipped, with little more thought put into it, everyone huddling into their respective bedrolls, hunkering up close to the wall for protection.
Turns out the weather does shift overnight, a cold spell washing in and turning the temperature decidedly uncomfortable... But most simply sleep through it. It's only a particular sprite that seems to be having issues, eventually fluttering over to Oren who has been so far keeping an unexciting watch.
"It's way too cold... How do you lot even handle it getting this chilly?"
“Yeah, it did cool off more than I thought it would. We often would start a fire to keep warm if needed. If you are cold you can use my bedroll to keep covered. When I get relieved from watch I’ll wake you and you can probably use the bedroll of whoever has watch next.” He waits to see if she is ok with that solution.
He also decides he has a question or two he'd like to ask.
"You clearly can do magic spells. Flying!, Invisibility. Can I ask what else you are able to do with using magic? Was it something you learned or was it something you could always do, even as a child?"
The sprite flutters excitedly at the offer, and has already tucked herself half into a comically oversized bedroll when Oren continues with his questions. Her little head comes poking back out from underneath as she seems surprised by the questions. But only in the sense that it must feel like her being asked "why is water wet?" from her perspective.
"Well, it depends a bit? Like, you have magic that you just... Kind of have, innately, which is my invisibility. And I have my wings for flying!" she adds, ignoring the fact those teensy wings probably shouldn't be able to handle her weight, not that either herself or Oren know enough about physics to be sure of that.
"So, there's some races out there which have a bunch of magic just innately, usually. Don't your elf friends have any abilities? You really don't have anything, huh?" she pauses, clearly still not too certain what to think of that, then finishes off trying to answer Oren's question.
"Anyway... Yeah, I've basically always been able to do that. You can learn magic though! There's many ways to do it, be it with or without help."
---
Oren's shift eventually finishes with nothing special happening beside perhaps some more conversation, and Breldo eventually takes over. His shift too is peaceful, at some point in the night there being rustling through the trees, but any would be predators clearly don't want to pick a fight with a group their size.
Nuria sleeps somewhat fitfully, her mind still spinning from everything that has been happening. Tucked snuggly into her bedroll, and facing away from the fire, she quietly listens in on the conversation between Oren and the sprite. Though the content isn't something she normally likes to think about, having something other than her own thoughts to focus on helps her get back to sleep.
Breldo finishes his shift and turns to wake up Nuria... And also Silvia who is squatting to get some additional heat. Her shift is largely without surprises as well, going through the quiet, almost eerie night. Only near the very end of her own shift does the forest begin to stir again as the earliest of animals band birds slowly start to wake.
(Assuming no one on guard duty has a particular thing they want to do, I can tell him this night went by peacefully (as far as anyone noticed.))
Eventually, the group slowly stirs awake after a peaceful night. It's definitely not been the best anyone has slept in a while (unless you're like Breldo, who is properly prepared), but beside a few sores that they will get rid of walking, nothing of note. Assuming they made as much progress as they believe they had, they should find this mysterious spot well before nightfall.
Breldo is being very gracious and trying not to be too outwardly smug at being well prepared for camping. Sometimes one has to experience things to know best how to prepare next time.
((Ready to go))

(She will take watch after Breldo)
Breldo gently wakes Nuria when his watch is over, sitting up with her a few minutes before turning in himself.

"Rick is ready to go so Rick can go back to civilization!"
Rick is very much ready to go.
Oren is ready to go and find this place of...maybe magic.
