The handful of children are shell-shocked and very quiet, huddled in the shade of the smaller vehicle. They have a couple canteens among them and seem to be passing them around, recovering as best they can under harsh circumstances. One of the white-painted men is keeping an eye on them, but not getting too close. He's a big guy; doesn't want to scare them.
The woman chatting with Furiosa has grey and brown braids; she's dressed in multilayered leathers and wool. Sweltering, probably, but also plenty of layers of protection. She turns when Indrani appears, eyeing her with polite interest.
"One good thing about this part of the Wasteland being so barren. No large predators. Other than humans," Furiosa shrugs ruefully at her. "You look better. Ready to come out vertical yet?"
She's not sure whether the children will recognize their hero, but any help reassuring them is welcome. Furiosa is used to War Pups. All it takes to cheer them up is a good, gruesome story.
