That you and I would never die

"There's nothing to know, really," he told her, a distance creeping into his manners - more from the way he carried himself, the growing tension of the shoulders than by tone of voice. "Best leave the Ningos be for now. We're gonna need them before the season is through."
The jest was gone. Only solid practicality remained, a quiet reminder that Deepfrost had only just begun. None of the great storms had bared down on them yet, and while the temperature dropped further with each day, it was nothing yet to what it would be in a few weeks.
Better not waste resources just yet.

Remember when you swore
we had it all?
