soulping | TIAMAT

[Glances at her, possibly scooting just a bit closer]

Aoko?

H-Hey. Cold, isn't it?

[Scowling]

That's an understatement. If I had known we'd be playing in winter, I would've quested for gloves. And a hat.

Or maybe some ski-wear ...

What? So you could go skiing?

[Nudges her lightly with his elbow]

So I could feel my toes.

[rocks a bit with the nudge, but otherwise doesn't respond too much]

Um, what do you guys want to do ...?

[. . . hmmm, no response to the teasing. She must still be feeling out of it]

Dunno yet. We're still talking about it.

. . . you okay?

Isabel-san isn't the type to let people catch colds, so ... mm, I'm okay.

That's not what I--

[. . . no, there are people here. He'll bring it up later]

Would you be okay if we wrapped Takshaka and Epona in the thick blanket, and Tiamat in my cloak?

[opens mouth to make a suggestion]

[...]

[closes it]

That's fine.

[. . . raises an eyebrow]

Don't hold back, now.

I ... it's nothing.

Aoko.

What is it?

[He won't turn in without knowing what her suggestion is]

Kaito's gonna be cold without the cloak, that's all. So I was just ... [flappy hand-gesture]

... I was just ... thinking that if I gave up my coat instead ...

[looks at his cloak]

[do u get the idea kaito]
