[As someone whose specialty is fighting, Sophie's decided that guarding the researchers is something she can and should do. Yet sending all their fighting forces into the desert to search for clues seemed foolhardy, so she remained behind to ensure that no harm befell her fellow Outsiders by helping them stay awake and watching over them when they did have to sleep.
Though now that some more of them are deciding to head out, she figures it'd be a good time to join them, and thus she's trying to make friends with the camels as well when she notices Ratio's troubles with his own mount. Some people might laugh at him getting spat at, but Sophie merely comes over and crouches down beside him, reaching a hand out to pat his head lightly.]
It's okay. I'm sure they'll get used to you soon. Some animals just don't take to people easily.
