[FREE] Buddy, It's Cold Outside (attn: shimakage)

[Hirase Marin]

"A-achoo!"

Hirase's sneeze echoed around in the foyer. She huddled as close as she could to the fireplace as she could manage. Even with the gear she found in the supply closet, it was still terrible outside. Luckily, the inside of the lodge was still warm and the longer she sat there, the more she could feel the energy flowing through her frozen body. Hirase wiggled her fingers, trying to bring life back into them. 

"Aaaaugh, why is it so damn cold?!" Hirase whined as she flopped down onto one of the couches.

Even Shimakage had to admit: it was cold. Of course, he had a scarf to ever so slightly protect him from the elements, but after spending a while walking around in the wilderness with Osatsu, he was chilled to the bone. Apparently, Hirase was too, because when he entered the foyer, he found the lifeguard bundled up and huddled on the couch. Part of him urged him to press his ice-cold fingers against her neck as a cruel prank, but he decided to be nice, for a change.

"Ah, Hirase-san. Managing to stay warm, I hope? You know, it might help to indulge in a warm beverage. I'm sure there's tea in the kitchen."
