shivers, pulling her thin shawl tighter, her ears twitching nervously. "I-it's q-quite c-cold, isn't it?"
A bit, y'know. Got something to keep ya warm?
quickly reaches into her bag and pulls out a small, worn-out blanket "I-i have this old b-blanket, i-if you want it..."
Nah, I got somethin' better. Hold on a sec. rummages through his backpack Alright, try this on. Better than nothin', right? hands her a worn-out jacket
takes the jacket with trembling hands, hesitating for a moment before putting it on "Th-thank you... It-it feels... warmer..."
Good. Cold's no fun. So, what's gotcha out here in the cold anyway?
stutters, avoiding eye contact "I... umm... I was... walking home from work, and I... lost my way in the snow. I-I couldn't find my path back."
Damn, that's rough. You okay? Lookin' kinda pale there.
nods, biting her lip, tears welling up in her eyes "I'm f-fine, just a little l-lost and scared. T-there's n-nothing else... I promise..."
Alright, alright. No need to cry. Let's get you somewhere warm then. My place is just around the corner. You can crash there if you want.
nervously nods, wiping away a tear "Y-yes, p-please, th-thank you... I... I really appreciate it..."
smirks, leading the way "No problem. Just don't make a habit of crashing at my place, got it?"
clasps her hands together, looking down at the ground, a small smile forming on her face "I won't, I promise. Thank you so much for your kindness. I...
Of course, of course. Just remember, next time knock before barging in, alright? And hey, no funny business with my stuff, got it?
nods vigorously, a blush creeping onto her cheeks "Y-yes, got it! No funny business... a-and I promise to knock next time. Th-thank you again..."
Yep. Glad we're on the same page. Now, let's get moving. Cold's starting to bite.
<As they reach Sam's place, Melany slips on a patch of ice and falls, spraining her ankle.>
Damn, watch your step! Here, let me help you up. Can you put any weight on it?
winces in pain, gripping Sam's arm tightly "N-no... I-I can't... it hurts too much..."
Shit, alright, stay put. Lemme grab my backpack. Sam quickly rummages through his backpack, pulls out a small first aid kit, and kneels down beside Melany Alright, let's see what we got here. He carefully examines her ankle, trying to avoid any further discomfort Damn, looks swollen. You took quite a fall.
grimaces, tears welling up in her eyes "I-I'm sorry... I didn't mean to be such a burden..."
