Maya went slightly ahead, taking care to step in places where the ice looked thicker. As soon as she got off of the ice, she instantly felt relief wash through her. Snowdrift stayed close to her as she looked around, collecting pieces of drift wood that were scattered around the beach. Skillfully she put them together in a pile, pulling a few hairs from her head and putting them onto the pile. She had learned that hairs were flammable.

Lighting a match, she threw it onto the wood, feeling relief as a small flame flickered. Instantly she got down onto her hands and knees, blowing on it to make it bigger.

Markus followed her over to where she had begun a fire. The moment he got near the fire, he sat down and closed his eyes, willing it to warm him up quickly.
(Short post, sorry Dx)

Maya continued to blow at the small flame, seeing it grow more and more. Once it was big, she sat down beside him. "Warmer?" she asked, reaching over and picking Snowdrift up.

[FoldєdPapєrHєarts]

Markus nodded, silently. He had his eyes on the fire and his expression was both confused and thoughtful. Ruffling his hair, he realized it was still wet. Sighing, he looked down at the ground, his expression still confused. "Thank-you for saving me," he whispered.

For a moment Maya was silent, stroking Snowdrift. Then she nodded. "You're welcome," she replied. "I couldn't watch you die." She looked over at him. "I'd do the same to anyone." Her voice was oddly distant. She still hadn't forgotten about their rivalry, though it was fainter than ever.

Markus nodded once more. "Well...thanks, again." He would have done the same for her, but he'd never admit that. Sighing as he warmed up a little, he removed the blanket from around his shoulders, his eyes still on the fire.

Maya blinked, then smiled. "You're welcome, again." She patted his arm. "You should get some sleep; you must be exhausted after that fall." Silently she stood up and looked around, her eyes still narrowed from the cold.

[FoldєdPapєrHєarts]

Markus shrugged. "I'm fine," he said, but his tone had a slight sleepy edge to it. Turning back to stare into the fire, he blinked before wrapping his arms around his legs, hugging them to his chest. He still seemed to be in shock.

Maya sighed irritably. "Don't act the hero," she snapped. "Get some sleep. You're already weak enough from the fall." She sat down beside him again, crossing her arms.
