Mina got closer to the cave the moment everyone had rounded up. She peered inside, a smile creeping across her face as she realized it was a different one from before.
"Alright, little snake, you stay out here for now. Use your camouflage and let me know if anything happens. We will be right back to get you, but if you feel like you're in danger... you know where we are. You're not alone anymore."
The snake nodded softly, coiling into a bundle of deep grass and fading out slightly. Mina could still see her as she exactly where she was, but she was pretty easy to miss now.
"That's actually really good. Stay safe, then you can get a pat on the head again."
Mina paused before trying to enter the cave.
"I haven't actually looked at everyone's abilities yet, have I?"
She pulled up the stats of the girls around her, all but the snake were available.

Mina held her hand in front of her face, re-reading here and there.
"So an evasion healer? Odd, but incredible. Your speed on foot is terrible sadly, but I can carry you on my sword if need be. You'll need to be somewhere in the middle. You'll be well guarded, and can totally tear up enemies with lightning magic. You'll need to use it sparingly in case someone gets hurt. Once you've learned your role in battle a little more thoroughly, you can easily tell how much to use on attack, as well as how much to save for healing. Still... you're both so strong. Totally not irked that animals are prettier then me, but oh well. I've got this weird error that I really don't understand. Dyn can tell me, but yea... we need to get a move on soon. Inferna... I need to look at yours as well."

"Inferna..."
Mina stepped closer to Inferna, her eyes slowly scanning the cat.
"...you're hurt. Explain."
Inferna shook her head, even looking around her own body. She sat down, an audible squeak coming from her legs.
"Erm..."
Standing back up, Mina looked behind her. A small bat was underneath her. Mina knelt down, her hair falling in front of her face.
"Was it sucking your blood? It's pretty small, so maybe it was really hungry?"
Mina sword poked it softly, avoiding using the blade. The bat squeaked again, then an extremely tiny voice came from it.
"I-I can't see! Where-where are the humans? Did they come out?"
"Umm... are you okay?"
Turning back, Mina caught sight of a small electric current zapping Inferna. She gave a tiny smile, refocusing on the bat.
"You... are you a human?"
"No. I'm not human. None of us are."
"Are we near a cave? H-humans came in and I flew out! The light hurt my eyes and I can't see right now. Mama told me what light would do to my eyes, but I was scared!"
"And why bite my friend?"
"Bite? My teeth aren't even sharp!"
Mina popped the bats mouth open very slightly, noticing the teeth being small nubs.
"You're super young... so humans are inside?"
Mina's eyes stared into the cave, locking onto a few bats dead inside. She gripped her blades, releasing them quickly as [Coalesce] activated. She grabbed the nearest leaf and placed it over the bat's eyes.
"Little snake, watch over the bat. We can deal with the humans, if we really need to."
