Katyr didn't have the energy to move.
It felt as though his very bones had frozen into place, like his whole body had turned into ice.
The warmth of the fire cast against his skin. It was almost painful, roiling against his flesh like some sort of attack. Yet as his eyes closed the sensation became more and more pleasant. Warmth began to spread through him, slowly, but there.
It was the first time in hours that he had felt any sort of comfort, and with Sorai's form pressed against his chest he could feel a sense of relief washing over him.
They would not die. Not yet.
Katyr could not have said how long they sat there. How long his arms remained wrapped around her or how long they allowed the fire to wash over them. Their clothes were still wet, their skin was still cold, but they had made it, at least for now.
A small spark of hope after the disaster they had endured. "N-need to dry our clothes."
The Elf said softly.
"U-u-use the f-fire." His voice still shook, his body still shivering.
