But it was still hard to look at her and not feel guilty.
What he wanted, was to have some space and distance. And what better way to escape, then to explore this creepy-looking ice structure in the outskirts of the Forbidden Forest. An igloo, they called it? Why in the world did they put an igloo here? Whatever. He was curious. Good thing Nathan brought his own coat or he had to resort himself wearing those unflattering fur coats provided by the school.
As he entered the place, he immediately took notice of a girl laying back on the cold, icy floor. Did she slip and fall on her back or something...and just didn't bother to get up? He stepped closer to inspect. Hmm... she seemed fine, alive and breathing. "What are you doing on the floor? Aren't your back cold?" Nathan asked, his face contorted incredulously.
Eria was slipping into a blissful meditative state. Between the potion and the cold...the ice against her, she'd reached a lovely numb state. Numb equaled no pain and she got to truly rest. Well...until there were thunderous footsteps.
Oh what now? She thought with a little exasperation. And here she thought in the bloody cold on the edge of the forbidden forest she could be alone. Apparently she was wrong...man she was wrong alot lately.
The tall brunette rolled her eyes open at the voice. Her green eyes lensed up to the face that was staring at her.
"Clearly, I am laying here and obviously I am cold...but that is the point." Her voice was only mildly snarky at the first part of the sentence...but she didn't have snark at the end. He could see what was happening, but she didn't fault him for not knowing why.
Wasn't this kid a snake too...yeah she was pretty sure he was around her age. She wondered why he seemed to want to get lost too...didn't he have a girlfriend or homework or friends or something???
