McKinley is, for the moment, more hungry than he is cold.
That's something of an achievement.
He does need a new coat, that's for sure, but for right now he's less concerned with his wardrobe and more focused on trying to smell something, anything-- he catches the edges of something's scent, can almost hear a heartbeat, feel warmth radiating from ... somewhere ... but he's never sure how much of this is real and how much he's imagining.
... Though if this is a mirage, it's a somewhat rancid one.
Rancid and familiar.
