[It seems Ezra has shacked up in the barrack's kitchen, planting himself firmly next to the fire with no intention of moving any time soon. He's got himself bundled up in his blanket, nothing more than his face visible under the folds.]

Okay. When it snowed at Vertiline, that was fine. It wasn't that cold and it melted really fast. This is just

[My goodness you look silly like that, Ezra.]

If you're really that cold, I could always see if I could get a few more blankets for you. Or maybe some warmer clothes?

[fallintheriver]

More anything is good.

[Ezra is going to end up making a next out of blankets or something by the end of this.]

[text-->commentlog]

[mutedmother]

Alright, give me a bit and I'll find you something.

[Jael heads over to the clothier's tower and manages to scrounge up some pants and some long-sleeved shirts that look like they might be warm enough.

Eventually she shows up in the kitchens, looking around for Ezra.]

[fallintheriver]

[Oh hi, Jael! Ezra is over here, under his pile of blankets. She may notice that it has grown substantially since he first posted whining about the cold.

He waves her over, not that he's easy to miss.]

What did you get me?

[mutedmother]

[Jael grins at his new collection of blankets. She sets the clothes down on the floor next to him so she can write.]

Some warmer clothes. Good thing I decided not to grab anymore blankets.

[Commentlog]

[fallintheriver]

[It takes him a minute to make sense of the writing as usual, but once he does he shrugs.]

I wouldn't have minded more blankets. But thanks for bringing these for me.

[Ezra was well on his way to becoming properly human-like now, more than one change of clothes and everything.]

[Commentlog]

[mutedmother]

[Jael would be so proud, Ezra.]

Are you going to be okay with all this stuff? Or are you going to stay in here until the snow stops?

[Commentlog]

[fallintheriver]

[He sighs.]

But that could be months, right? I guess I'll be fine with this. I think even Zeke would stop delivering me food after a while.

[Commentlog]

[mutedmother]

True. But it might not last very long either.

[Jael smiles at Ezra.]

Well I'm always here to help if you need anything.

[Commentlog]

[fallintheriver]

[Ezra smiles hesitantly back.]

...Thanks.

[Commentlog]

[mutedmother]

You're welcome. Are you okay for now, or do you need anything else?

[Commentlog]

[fallintheriver]

[He shakes his head.]

No. I'm good.

[Commentlog]

[mutedmother]

[Jael nods.]

Alright, I'll see you around. I'm going to go bury myself in my own blankets now.
