	Not even a snowy blizzard could hide Cyn's scent from him. He reached out with firm hand and grabbed her wrist, his touch was warm and toasty as he guided her.

His skin was warm, it should be enough. He shot glance back at Cyn, green eyes glimmering through the fluttering snow. It was a good thing he had Cyn along. When they set up camp he'd have her look at it.

	"Not too much further," he said abruptly to Cynthia. "We'll set up camp in a bit."
