He didn't want to leave. He wanted to stay here and take all of her pain and her sorrow and her regret and soak it up like the sponge he had become over the years of his life. But hew would obey her, if only to survive the coming threat of sickness and fristbite.
He grabbed her hand as much as he could, but it was loose at best. He couldn't feel his fingers, nor his hands. Without Cordelia holding on to him, Noah wasn't sure he would be able to detect her to lace his fingers with hers. The only place he knew to go had burned down many, many years ago at the hands of the youngest resident. Despite that, Noah still ventured out into the streets. He passed the Hale's house with its blackened, ice covered remnants of walls and shattered brick foundation. On the other side of that, however, stood the Monster Hunter's Guild.
Stepping inside, Noah didn't do much. He wanted to, but he had lost most of the dexterity of his limbs because of the numbing cold and frost running down his jacket and pants. "There are fire building supplies in here." Noah said, gesturing bunglingly to the right of the fireplace. Being in the warm of the building, despite the hearth being empty, Noah shed his wet clothes. He shook his limbs as he trotted over to the large set of chairs, grabbing the blanket from one of them and wrapping it around himself.
"I'll tell you what happened, if you tell me." He said, trying to lift the corner of his mouth in a smile as he moved back to her side, kneeling down in the blanket before her and the fireplace.
