"WHAT??" snapped Katsuro with more energy than he thought he had. "What the hell does that ma--oh..." Now looking around the room it was apparent why the temperature had dropped so.
"I guess I didn't think that one through all the way," he admitted with a tired sigh, "but at least we're alive, right?" It was at this moment a word from Ivory's toughtalk caught his attention.
"... Princess? Look, I'm not a masochist like you, but you're forgetting who brought this place down, aren't you? Some pampered princess couldn't do that. I'm not from here, no, but that doesn't make me any less than you."

"Focus Hideaki!"Ivory frowned as he took the discussion around the therm princess. "Can you withstand the cold or are you not suited for cold temperatures?... Where are you from? Are you bearing any kind of Illness? Why is your skin so cold?"Humans nowadays on helmscream could at least sustain being bare skinned on the snow given the poor treatment they held as slaves. By now it was weird to see someone on such a delicate state like Hideaki. (( OOC: ))

"N-NO. ... I can't." With the sudden realisation that he was ill suited for the climate Hideaki felt a certain amount of shame or self-pity in being too weak to tolerate what was a normal setting for Ivory.
"So we need to get out of here, right?" Said the logician trying to free himself from the debris over him. He winced, appearing to agitate a wound caused by the incident.

"It's no use if you can't walk on your own, you'll only get killed that way!"Sentenced Ivory severely as she dragged herself towards Hideaki. The girl would then do her best dragging the boy all the way back to the tub in which she placed herself on top of him. "You haven't noticed? I can't move if you're also wounded. Just what kind of spell did you put on me?"With Ivory now bounded to Hideaki, her body was affected by Hideaki's magic, if it fell greatly she would only had a few hours before her energy depleted as well. Quickly she unbuttoned his shirt so the skin could make contact to regulate her temperature. "Just stay here... last thing I need is an I'll mage..."Lectured the raven haired girl as she looked away. She was clearly upset by all this, but had not explained exactly why. None the less the priority was to stabilize his temperature to avoid any fever or illness to fall upon him. Then she would try to treat the wounds on her Body. "Alright, what do you feel? where does it hurt... I might have only a few minutes left after I stabilize you before I black out so I need to make every minute count."(( OOC: ))

Hideaki Katsuro:The Prodigy ▣ ▹ ▸ ▹ ▸ ▹ ▻ ▻ ► ► ◄ ◄ ◅ ◅ ◂ ◃ ◂ ◃ ◂ ▣ After he was out of the rubble he found he had a little more strength, enough to bring himself to snuggle closer to Ivory. She was so caring; hard to imagine it was only for self preservation.
"I'm... Alright," he said finally as some feeling returned to his legs. "I just need a little bit to recharge." From the corner of his eye Katsuro noticed some embers still burning. He hadn't been out as long as he'd thought, apparently.
"You just rest, ok? I'm gonna get a fire going." And so he would start to crawl over to the smoldering flame and start to stir and add sticks to it if he wasn't stopped. He would also take a stick to start a new fire wherever Ivory had passed out.
{skip}
Katsuro and Ivory were the only things keeping each other warm. For many reasons the sorcerer found he couldn't sleep, though he was quite tired after all that exertion. His body was sore from the impact of the roofing falling on him, but he still had plenty to think about, mainly thoughts of survival but also of what it meant to have to work together with someone like Ivory in order to insure that--or to even have a shot. After some salvaging he was able to procure some bedding for the two and move them under the bathroom sink, keeping the fire as their door.
From the drawers he'd managed to find a pad of paper and a pen. He sat there and tried to think of as many symbols as he could, starting with an empty version of Ivory's containment circle. With it he could transfer her to the page and keep her that way instead of relying on the integrity of the soap scum on the other bathroom's ceiling. When you say it like that, it really seems ridiculous that they made it this far. Next came the Kanji for flame, and then he started taking notes in a rather unconventional way. Instead of words he hashed out a big circle and tried to fill it with as many arcane symbols as he could.

Ivory would rest things off, she felt exhausted. As if Hideaki was draining her strength just to keep himself alive. Either his magic was on a delicate state or perhaps he was indeed draining her energy. However, with Hideaki's lack of sleep it was Ivory who resented it the most, as she found herself unable to wake up, she felt, so weak. The boy would keep on drawing arcana symbols while the girl kept resting, unable to restore her strength, which gave some anxiety to her, but given she was still asleep she could somehow manage her stress levels.

Hideaki Katsuro:The Prodigy ▣ ▹ ▸ ▹ ▸ ▹ ▻ ▻ ► ► ◄ ◄ ◅ ◅ ◂ ◃ ◂ ◃ ◂ ▣ Katsuro continued to draw and think about his experiences, what he'd seen, how many times he'd captured a specimen, what worked, what didn't. All of that was meticulously noted in his circle. When it was done--or when Katsuro was done with it--he resolved to meditate on his own with the warmth of the fire guiding his focus. This would speed up the process of returning his mana to him, but he was so drained that it would take a while even with it. He in fact hadn't been stealing Ivory's life force, as that was more or less a one-way street, but rather it was just so low that Ivory had become the physical representation of Hideaki's magical dregg, if you will.

After the first hour Ivory could finally be seen resting rather than struggling on her sleep. It seemed that Hideaki had finally started restoring his mana pool whic would lift the burden on Ivory's shoulders. Allowing the raven haired girl to rest at last. Hours later, ivory sat by the fire, knees against her torso while holding them both with her arms while her eyes were lost within the flames. (( OOC: ))

Hideaki Katsuro:The Prodigy ▣ ▹ ▸ ▹ ▸ ▹ ▻ ▻ ► ► ◄ ◄ ◅ ◅ ◂ ◃ ◂ ◃ ◂ ▣ To be clear, Hideaki had no formal training in the meditative arts (jnana yoga) as one might expect from a certain monastic order that should remain nameless ( ninja ), but rather practiced a very basic and easily picked up form of zen style meditation were one counted circles in his/her head for a certain amount of time and tried to consciously keep track of the time that had passed while doing so. It was at once a trance exercise and one that promoted consciousness, leveling out the mind so that the brain could recharge and therefor increase the rate at which mana could enter the body/be produced--depending on how you looked at it. After a while katsuro could hear the subtle stirring of Ivory and opened his eyes to see her transfixed on the flame's ephemeral flicker.
"You're awfully quiet," he commented with something of amusement in his voice. "I'm... Sorry. About all that back there."

"What for? Shattering me into pieces? burning down my home, my clothes... the pack I lived with for the past year? Nah, stuff like this happen."Said Ivory with some sort of dubious sarcasm. "What about you? You're not sick right? I don't know where you're from, but here you can't have that privilege. Getting sick is almost as bad as dying."(( OOC: ))

"Good." Katsuro would ignore the snarky remarks on the surface but would take them to heart. Right now he did feel like the bad guy, but he had to remember how he fought for his freedom---and hers.
"No... What's with you and illness? Is it really such a big deal if I get a cold?"

"Yes it is, you'll be a burden, we won't be able to cover ground with you being tired all the time, sick, unable to breathe properly... your stamina wears down faster. And you'll always be the first to go target. They can sense if you're sick. Common instincts among beasts, take out the ill and the old first."(( OOC: ))

"Cool, they we should be fine," snapped Katsuro putting up his notepad. "I don't assume you want me to lead then, do you? I don't know enough about this place to anyway. ... But we can't stay here." He looked her dead in the eye, practically demanding her to think of something--or at least say what she was thinking.

"We need to keep moving, south holds ground at Kitsune territory. Sure we'll be looked as nothing but possible slaves but should we run over a werewolf it's most likely they would hunt them away rather than paying attention to us. So far its our best bet. Unless of course you want to seek refuge on another werewolf pack."(( OOC: ))

"Right. I'll have to trust you on that one." Suddenly an idea occurred to him. Despite how stupid it may sound, its roots were logical. "I don't know about that," he started with a thumbnail in his mouth. "If we can tell them we were able to kill werewolves with just the two of us, they might keep us as war consultants. ... It's worth a shot."
