Athalia - Ski trip

- Andromeda -

she sighed a little in relief "good, I'm more fragile then you but you never know" Rain leaned forward and the whole lift moved slightly, but not much.

she pulled her hand back with a silent sigh but she kept looking at her, maybe it was the height? more then likely Rain didn't like being helpless. they were helpless, up here. Andro knew she would not be able to survive jumping, Rain might but not without a few injuries herself. there was always the supports, if they could make it to the one in front of them, or even the one behind them, they might be able to climb down, it wasn't a bad plan... for Rain. it might help Andro a little because she was part human, the action might give her a little bit of heat but it would be more like a hypothermic person swimming, the water saps the heat from their skin.

she was so caught up in her own thoughts she didn't realize Rain was reaching for her until she touched her. it hurt. so much heat against freezing skin. with a tiny cry she practically threw herself back, knocking into the side of the lift and making it sway back and forth and she had to grab the bar to keep from tipping sideways. "s... sorry... are yo-you alright?" in that logical section of her brain that still had some sway she was aware that even if Rain's body temp was higher then your average human's it was a bad thing that she was cold enough it practically flash-burned her cheek. she probably felt like a statue cold and hard, guess it worked, since her skin was the color of marble. 'Stop' she told herself 'focus, the cold's slowing down my brain, I have to focus, did Rain say anything?' she shook her head slightly again, to regain her focus on the werewolf beside her.

Andro shook her head "no, I'm fine, at least I think so, got some snow in my eyes and the bar might have bruised something but I'm alive" she repeated her own question because Rain hadn't answered her "what about you? are you alright?" she tightened her own coat around her as best she could as she said it.
'dammit' she thought 'I have to get down from here, in any normal situation i'd suggest just waiting for rescue, it's surely incoming but there's not guarantee I can last that long...'

she looked at Rain, saw the teeth and the glowing eyes. she reached over, trying to still her shaking hand as she put it on the werewolf's shoulder "it's gonna be... be alright, we'll be f-fine" she tried smiling again, but it wavered as a chill wind flowed across them. 'why is it so cold?!' she thought, scientifically she knew, there was nothing blocking the wind and they were pretty high up in altitude so being farther from the earth's core made it colder as well, but she didn't want to think scientifically right now, she wanted to panic, but if she panicked, Rain probably would and that might end in disaster. so she ignored her own shivers and increasingly lower body temperature and looked forward towards the next checkpoint again "no, I can't see anything, the snow's to heavy, but I'm sure someone's on their way to help us already,"

Andro laughed at Rain's statement on the conditions in which they lived. she hadn't necessarily thought that they lived like wolves but she hadn't thought they would be that well off. when she mentioned the lone wolf dying off, Andro just nodded in agreement.

Andro smiled widely again when she said she wouldn't bring it up, then chuckled a little when she mentioned cold being bad for everyone. "haha, yeah, that's true" she leaned forward slightly on the bar, looking at Rain.

at the mention of her balance Andro laughed again "I'm sure you'll be great at it once you get your feet beneath you, so to speak" Andro ran a hand through the snakes under her hood, they sluggishly nipped at her hands. "we'll be on the bunny trail anyway, it's the easiest one, I'd never make you go down one of the hard ones"

she was leaning on the bar and looking sideways at Rain when the ski lift jittered and she nearly tumbled forward but the bar caught across her lap, leaving her bent over it, staring down at the snow. she managed to grab her sunglasses before they tumbled away. she heard Rain speak as she pulled herself back up and slid the glasses back onto her face. "are you alright?"

"I think the ski lift jammed" she shuddered slightly, the wind was faster up here and cold. she was shivering but was keeping her teeth from chattering for the time being. still she wrapped her arms around herself. "that's not a good sign" she tried to look up towards the top but the snow was making it too difficult.

Andro felt a little bad when Rain apologized for mentioning her mom. she didn't want to make Rain feel bad, but Andro really didn't want to explain so she'd just smiled and gone right into her next question as the lift moved forward.
she was actually pretty interested in Rain's answer, she didn't really know anything about the werewolf so she payed close attention to the woman's answer. "oh really? I don't particularly like snow so I maybe I'd like it there, but I could never survive in the woods" she chuckled a little nervously "not by myself, and I certainly don't belong to any wolf packs"

she was a bit confused by Rain's question but since she still felt bad about Rain apologizing earlier she told her the truth, most of it anyway. "honestly?" Andro asked "both, as you've noticed, me and my mother... well that's not something I like discussing..." she heard a quiet hiss from beneath her hood, that was a nice sound, it meant her snakes were still conscious, if they lost consciousness she would soon follow. "but uh... I don't like the cold, it's... well it's not particularly good for me" she still remembered finding that out the hard way, it hadn't been until years after that she'd started wondering if her mom had brought her out there on purpose, because she knew.

Andro shook her head a little, she wasn't going to think about it right now, she was going to have a nice time with Rain. "um, Skiing's not that different from sledding, honestly" she said, wanting to change the topic away from her again. "as long as you land on your feet and keep your balance you'll do fine" they were about half way to the top now "do you... uh do you miss your pack? they're like your family right?"

Andro nearly fell over when Eric bolted. she nervously looked back at the intruder. her snakes hissed again, and she didn't bother trying to shush them. "Uh... I'm lookin' for April..."
"I... I don't know... I don't know who that is" Andro said, looking around. "I uh... I can't help... I'm... I'm sorry"
she shook and took a step away, stumbling slightly as her ankle protested. she grabbed a table by the door to keep her up and stared at the intruder. "who... who are you?"
'this is an awful day' she thought 'and Eric just left me!'

she watched as Rain got her own skis on. "good job, you learn quick" then Rain face-planted in the snow and Andro snorted before she managed to cover her mouth. she sobered her expression as the guide helped her up, but she still had a slight smile on her face. after Rain apologized the Gorgon replied "don't worry, everyone does it at least once, I think I did it four times when my mom brought me skiing" she said, as she approached the lift.
Rain's question took her a bit by surprise and she had to take a second before she could answer. "I only went once" she said "well, I only did the actual skiing part once, after that my mom just let me stay at the resort while she went skiing, she didn't exactly mind not having me around" she let the guide help her up onto the seat and she scooted over so Rain could get on. she didn't feel the need to tell Rain that first ski trip had ended with her getting hypothermia, she only intended to go down the bunny trail once, to get people off her back, she shouldn't be out here long enough to worry about it.
she smiled at Rain again "I can tell you've never gone skiing, but have you spent a lot of time in the mountains before? you looked pretty comfortable before you put the skiis on" her segue was probably a bit awkward but her mother was a bit of a sore subject.
