She closed her eyes momentarily, grateful for the body heat that continued to seep into her now thawing body. His husky laugh along with his further attempts to warm her brought a sweet smile to her lips and she giggled at his response to her jest, glad that he took it as light-hearted as she meant it.
There was a moment of silence between the two, and it surprised her that it didn't feel forced or unnatural at all, it was actually quite nice. He looked down at her and inquired as to her purpose in what he called the field, before tossing his own playful quip at her. She looked at him as though her answer was the most obvious thing in the world before saying, "I'll have you know, I make freezing to death a regular habit of mine. Why else would I be here?" She was able to hold a straight face for a beat cracking a smile and letting out a gentle string of laughter. She looked around self consciously as her laughter tapered away, and winced slightly at how isolated it sounded; as if this place hadn't heard such a carefree sound in quite a while.
"No," she corrected, "I'm definitely not here for the weather. In truth..." she dropped her eyes, embarrassed for her aimlessness, "I don't really know why I'm here. A fresh start, I suppose. Something new." She met his eyes again, and her mouth twisted into a grim half smile.
