His eyes focused on her as she shrugged. Didn't she care about her own health as much as he did? But it seemed telling her the truth about the coat was a bad move. He nodded at her whisper, but then looked at her with a serious expression. "You're pretty too." It was the first time he felt like he SHOULD say and it didn't feel strange. She was his kid sister for Merlin's sake. Taking the jacket, he wrapped his arm around her. "Well, if you're going to refuse that, can we at least go back?" And maybe check on Isaac on the way.

A healer?! That sounded kind of difficult, not just in the amount of magic she'd have to learn but also in the emotional toll it could take on a person. At the moment, she wasn't sure she could handle an emotional job like that. For some reason, she hadn't yet imagined what kind of job she'd want now that she knew she was a witch, but perhaps it was time she started learning more about the kinds of jobs that were out there...

The serious look in Edmund's eyes froze her more than the cold. It was obvious he was about to saying something really important... that... she was... pretty? She opened her mouth to respond, but thought better of it. She wasn't sure how much more of emotional breakdown Edmund would tolerate, and thought that saying she wasn't pretty ENOUGH might overdo it. "Thank you, Ed," she said quietly, finally breaking eye contact and looking at the ground.

As he wrapped his arm around her, she moved in closer to him, resting her head against him. She was suddenly really, really tired. When he asked if they could go back now, she nodded her head. "Yeah... let's go...."

Looking down at her feet, she saw that the dog had been sitting there next to her the whole time. Bending down and giving it an affectionate scratch on the head, she whispered, "Thanks for keeping me warm." Taking out her wand, she made sure the blue flames were extinguished in the tunnel and then turned to walk back to the castle with Ed.
