Rau slept soundly, but not for, perhaps, as long as she would have preferred. He woke long before she would, and got up, stretching quietly, casting a brief glance over her sleeping form, and then moving to leave the cave. He wouldn't be gone long, He was just taking the time to quickly wash himself in the snow, and perhaps see if he couldn't locate the village again. Maybe even survey the wreckage now that it had had some time to cool off. He trudged off, making his way down to the wreckage first, using handfuls of snow on the way to wash himself as he traveled.
The journey wasn't long, and before long, he was picking at the scraps, scavenging what would be useful, and ignoring the rest. He gathered sharp bits of metal that would make adequate weapons for hunting, he gathered remnants of electronics that could function, various scraps of cloth, and, his prizes, an intact spare engine near the rear part of the wreckage and a somehow reasonably undamaged first aid kit. Perhaps he could do something interesting with the engine as well. So, he lugged these things back toward his little cave and set them carefully near the back of the cave, making sure that Kade was still asleep as he did so. Pleased enough with her getting rest, he set about moving back outside to see if he couldn't see the signs of the town that he knew was nearby, and would still be at the top of the hill when she woke, standing with one hand resting on his brow to shade his vision as he peered into the distance, looking for smoke and steam.
Of course, he wouldn't be able to get her too close to the village without risk to himself, so he would let her leave once she was a reasonable hour's walk away or so. Maybe less. He wouldn't let her get injured any worse than she already was, if he was able. Especially given the fortune of finding a medical kit in the wreckage, he was sure he could patch her up enough to get her to a safer place.
But the thought of the source of the crash returned to his mind, and when she finally did find him, he would be stroking his chin in thought as he stared along the tracks toward the village.

The mind is a fantastic, dangerous place. Don't go alone.
