I'm not used to this kind of weather...

I could use a thick blanket and a hot cup of cocoa right about now.

*after snorting at the above*

I have blankets I can spare you.

[agent_africa]

Really? That'd be great.

[withoutsorrow]

The riverlands can get pretty cold this time of year. We easterners learn a few good ways to keep warm.

[agent_africa]

......

You weren't going to suggest I curl up with you, were you? I've already received that offer today.

[withoutsorrow]

Sheva, let me be perfectly clear. If you wanted it, any time, cold or not, nothing short of a terminal illness that had already reached the point of terminal would stop me from answering your call.

But if a little intimacy between friends is not to your taste, my other favorite way to stay warm is tea. Which I have plenty of as well.

[agent_africa]

I think you've found another way to chase away the cold.

I'm positively blushing. You've got quite the silver tongue.

[withoutsorrow]

There's no need for flattery here. You've already got me wrapped around your little finger, you know.

[agent_africa]

[amused]

I'll bet you say that to all the girls.

I'm nothing special, you know. Especially compared to some of the women here.

[withoutsorrow]

Almost all of that.

As far as my opinion goes, you're the most drop-dead gorgeous woman here, and believe me, I have not been keeping blinders on as far as the women of this city are concerned.

I don't know why you'd say you're not special. Everything I've seen says otherwise.

[agent_africa]

Ashoka... thank you.

I don't know what to say.

[She's definitely flattered, from the sounds of it]

[withoutsorrow]

You could say when would be a good time to bring your new blanket by.

[agent_africa]

Do you think it's big enough for two people? I wouldn't mind sharing it for awhile.

[withoutsorrow]

Hold on, let me check - you know, I think we can squeeze two people under here, but we might have to get close.

[agent_africa]

[soft laugh]

I guess that's alright, since it's between friends.

[withoutsorrow]

Nothing like friends to keep each other warm - in their hearts, and in their arms.
