His hand throbbed as he held it against his chest. Without fail, there was Zuriel, ready to bring him healing. The unicorn was probably exhausted of him at this point, with the amount of times she had used her gift to bring sinew and muscle and skin back together. Even in the short amount of time they had known each other, Noah had managed to get himself into a few situations that utilized her well. He was thankful for her. Finishing up his task and moving towards the unicorn, the hunter held his hand out to her. With the healing came a tingling sensation before it was totally back to normal. Despite the focus being on his hand, he felt a renewed vigor within his chest from the work of the companion. "Thank you," He pressed the hand against her shoulder, a soft smile breaking his cold features.

The night was easy to survive for him, even without the finished structures. As the sun lifted, as did the massive bear's head. Snow had covered him as he and Eira curled next to each other. Grunting, the polar bear stood and shook the snow off of his back. Eira grumbled some, deciding it was better to stay tucked away in the small bed of snow she was curled in. Shifting to take on his human skin once more, Noah closed the distance between him and his friends. He smiled to each of them, reaching readily for a cup of tea and taking a few sips without hesitation. It was the perfect temperature, and it warmed his chest and belly. "Cordelia's right. I can gather some insulation." He took a final slug of his tea before shifting down to his lynx form and bounding out of their make-shift camp in search of moss.
