"Whoa!" Parker cried as the girl lost her footing and fell to the ground. He bent down to help her up. "You okay?" He asked. Then he noticed that she was shivering madly. Her lips were beginning to turn blue, too. While she was still conscious, it seemed as if she was going to pass out any minute. He had to do something. Quick. Cursing his luck, Parker scooped her from the ground into a bridal carry, before sprinting off. His boots provided enough grip as to not slip and fall, potentially injuring them both.
Parker kept running, quietly thankful that there wasn't anyone else around on the street who would notice this, probably getting the wrong ideas. He would've died on the spot if that happened. He shook those thoughts from his mind, though, too focused on making his way back home, his face feeling the effect of cold. Finally, the sight of his family home became clear, and he swiftly turned and ran up the driveway. He shifted the girl's weight to his right arm, noting how light she was. Then, he tapped his holotool against the security console.
The maglocks on the door immediately deactivated, and the door slid open with a hiss. He entered, greeted with a gust of warmer air. He was never so thankful he had the foresight to set the building's temperature regulator to a comfortable twenty-four degrees before be left. The door closed behind him, finally leaving them in warm shelter.
Parker gently laid the girl down on a couch in the living room, recalling his many, many lessons on how to treat hypothermia. It was one of the most important things growing up on a cold planet, after all. He considered himself lucky to not he an inhabitant of actual frozen planets like Hiemal or Stolitsa. Conditions there were subzero all the time, unlike here on Cascade, where there were at least five seasons.
The continent of Brittia was currently experiencing its second winter, where conditions were much more brutal than its first. During the first winter, temperatures rarely dropped below negative twenty. During the second, temperatures always dropped below negative twenty.
Moving the couch closer to a heating unit mounted to the wall and a vent on the floor, he made sure to increase the temperature of those two. Then, he sprinted upstairs and pulled out a spare blanket from a closet, making his way downstairs and spreading it over her. That done, he sighed and walked over to the kitchen and poured a glass of warm water, before walking back to the living room and pulling out a chair. He sat down and shifted towards the girl. "Here," He said. "Drink this. It'll warm you up. Can you tell me your name, please?"
