She didn’t recognize the young man’s blue eyes or sandy blonde hair. He looked close to her age—seventeen. A thin sheet of metal was wrapped around his torso and secured with leather.

A strange bow hung from his shoulder and on his back was a leather pack.
He stared at her.
"I believe this is yours," he said, offering her the figurine. Lana didn’t move. He could have been with the raiders.
