the palm of your freezing hand

Sohalia

Sohalia was not quite so bold as to flirt as shamelessly as the Shield - or at least, not so bold as to do so without blushing furiously, as she did now. With reddened cheeks, she considered the soldier with a certain wariness. Perhaps the woman was merely toying with her, or perhaps she had more sinister intentions - who could tell? Either way, Soh tired of the game.

She propped her head on a hand. ”I don’t know,” she said loftily. ”Maybe I just came to admire the tundra.” The frigid, frozen, unwelcoming tundra. Given her many layers, the thought that she came to sightsee in the winter didn’t seem particularly plausible, but whatever.

Rhiannon

All I know is this could either break my heart
or bring it back to life

Rhiannon quirked a brow as the blonde diverged from flirtation and attempted to deflect attention towards their surroundings. ”In the winter?” Rhi asked, amusement evident in her face. ”That’s…bold of you.” And so it was. Even the most hardy Halovians knew better than to wander the tundra during Deepfrost. ”But if it’s the tundra you wanted to see, I’d be happy to give you some pointers.”

When Sohalia agreed, Rhiannon launched into a discussion of the best clothes to wear, the tools that would be helpful to have on hand, and the locations that might be protected enough from the winter chill that she’d be relatively safe to visit them. And so their meal went on, shared in a companionable comfort, until the two finished and went their separate ways.
