[sninja]

[As a loyal and devoted Servant, Chiyome would go into any manner of battlefield on Ritsuka's orders. She would walk directly into hell for them, if they asked. Her own comfort is not even a factor.

As a part-snake, Russia is the worst. She isn't even sure if she can fight properly like this. But there's someone who must be suffering as much as she is, and that comes first.]

How are you faring, Lady Gorgon?

[gorgantic]

[As a...well, Gorgon is definitely a Servant, so she has little choice but to follow her Master, even if she isn't happy about it. The weather does nothing to improve her sour attitude. She is no small part snake and entirely from the Mediterranean, so Russia may very well be the worst place for her to be.]

Y-You should be w-worrying about yourself.

[Because even reptiles can shiver, she may sound less threatening than normal. But she is also speaking to probably the only person that isn't Master or her sisters, so even if she had the energy to be properly threatening, it likely wouldn't work to begin with.]

[sninja]

[Neither of them is properly dressed for this weather either. Thankfully Chiyome isn't in her first ascension, that would be even worse.]

There is little I can do about my own comfort. But I would at least like to attend to you, if possible.

[Local ninja physically incapable of putting herself first, news at eleven.]

[gorgantic]

[Gorgon tries to stop herself from shivering out of pure spite, but succeeds only so much. Her outfit is one of the most exposed and there isn't much of a chance of finding anything around here that might fit her.]

Attend to me, how?

[She still doesn't know how to deal with this little ninja so stubbornly wanting to be nice to her.]

[sninja]

Well...

[That is the question, isn't it.]

Perhaps if we were to huddle together, we would lose less body heat?

[A terribly forward suggestion, but if it's for the sake of combating this cold, perhaps Lady Gorgon might accept it.]

[gorgantic]

[Gorgon almost loses her balance on her tail, just barely not falling face first into the snow. The suggestion is so surprising, her brain struggles to muster a response.]

What did you say?

[She must have misheard. No one would offer to that with the Gorgon.]

[sninja]

[Please do not get a face full of snow, that will not help anyone's temperature situation.]

I, erm. I have heard that huddling together is useful for retaining body heat, in extreme conditions, so...

[gorgantic]

[More panicking. She wants to threaten Chiyome away, but she knows that won't work...and she is really cold.]

If I agree to use you, you must swear never to speak of this to anyone.

[She can't make it seem like she is letting someone be nice to her or let anyone who may misinterpet things to find out.]

[sninja]

I will never speak of it again.

[They can just forget this happened after they leave Russia. Surely it's only a practical solution that won't be awkward in any way.]

[gorgantic]

[Gorgon snatches the much smaller girl to shove Chiyome into her lap. She very intentionally avoids eye contact even with them facing each other this close. Her face is only red because of the cold, she swears.]

This had better work. If not, you may end up providing more heat as a meal than a blanket.

[sninja]

[Chiyome is similarly red, even as she leans into her for the tiniest bit of extra heat. She certainly feels warmer already, but that could just be embarrassment from being so close.]

I-I will do everything I can not to disappoint, Lady Gorgon.
