"S-sweetheart," he murmured, "trust me. I-I'm okay." Cold, but alive and that wasn't likely changing. At worse, he figured he'd get a small sniffle out of his current condition and have to swing by Juniperpaw's den. If it did happen, he didn't think it was preventable. Other than warming up, there wasn't a lot he could do. Firehawk didn't quite know how to respond to her question, but he was glad to accept her snuggling up close to him. He wished he was a bit dryer. Then she .. probably wouldn't get as cold as he was.

He nuzzled into the smaller form of his mate, a shaky purr erupting in his throat. "I-I'm glad to be back. I wish I wasn't freezing too." A part of him longed for New-leaf and Green-leaf, where they could dive into the water without worrying about being frozen. Paws slipping wouldn't result in feeling like he was dying.

"S-should try to d-dry a bit," he quietly said. "I-I'd hate to get you all wet, too."
