[Manages it, finally, and pulls the camisole up and over.]

[He ducks his head, to keep from staring, cheeks warm - leans out of the blanket just enough to hang the shirt out to dry with the rest of their clothes.]

...sorry. Wasn't trying to tickle you.

[unbr8kable]

Yeah, it... Don't worry about it...

[Curls up, hiding her face in her knees, casual]

Thanks, I guess...

[crossmyheartandhope]

You were stuck pretty good.

Mighta been easier if you really had froze solid, then I coulda just chipped you out or something.

[He's sitting very still, very determinedly not looking her way]

[unbr8kable]

That definitely seems less easier...

[Shifts a little, folding her arms]

...Is it less cold, at least?

[crossmyheartandhope]

Pretty sure that's my line. The whole point was to warm you up some.

[unbr8kable]

Yeah. I mean--I woulda been fine. But...yeah, it's a little better.

[crossmyheartandhope]

...okay. Okay, cool. That's the most important part.

[unbr8kable]

I guess?

[The wind whips outside, whistling through the eaves and gusting through the crack under the door. Nemesis huddles forward with a sigh, chafing her hands against her lower legs]

Guess it's really storming out there...

[crossmyheartandhope]

For real. We'd've been screwed if we didn't find this place.

...you think we're gonna have enough wood for the fire?

[unbr8kable]

...Guess we'll find out.

You doing okay?

[crossmyheartandhope]

You know me, dude, I'm always half-froze.

This is like business as usual.

[unbr8kable]

Hah... Scoot in, then. More empty space means more cold air can get in.

[crossmyheartandhope]

That how that works?

[He hesitates a beat, and then does indeed scoot in a little]

[unbr8kable]

Something something heat loss. I know you don't wanna get girl cooties, but I got 37 whole degrees and you're wasting them.

[crossmyheartandhope]

[Scoots in a little closer, and tugs the blanket in around their shoulders]

How's that? Better?

[unbr8kable]

Is it what you want? --Not what you think you can get away with, or what you think I might want or anything like that. 'Cause I don't mind...

[Darts a glance at him, then looks away, cheeks dusky]

[crossmyheartandhope]

[Makes a startled, half-choked little noise, instantly bright red]

Wh- what?

[unbr8kable]

What?

[crossmyheartandhope]

What what? Like...

For... getting warm or whatever...?

[unbr8kable]

Yeah, or whatever.

[Shifts, careful]

I-I mean, you don't gotta, if you're good like this. Just, you can, if you want.

[crossmyheartandhope]

[He hesitates - hesitates again.]

[Scoots in closer, so that he's pressed up against her again]

[unbr8kable]

[Opens her stance so he can position himself as he likes. She is most definitely warm]

[crossmyheartandhope]

[Settles in at her side, hesitant, most of them pressed together from shoulder to hip.]

...this okay?

[unbr8kable]

[Shifts, careful; winds her arm around his waist again, easing him closer still]

I mean, like I said. I'm good with whatever. So...

[crossmyheartandhope]

I mean, yeah, but like... you don't got much on.

So, like. If it's... weird, or whatever. You can say.
