"Well, we basically have the rest of eternity, since we probably won't age much further, and I don't plan on turning you into a full vampire anytime soon," Teresia responded and then shuddered at the thought of going into the mountains. "You know Capell... you're kind of shirtless at the moment, seeing as I'm wearing it," she began slowly and blushed slightly as she tugged on the hem. It looked huge and baggy on her, considering her small build and slight frame, although it was slightly flattering. "Plus, dwarves aren't known for their hospitality, and I don't like the cold."

Capell looked down and started to chuckle and shake his head; he honestly hadn't noticed he wasn't wearing a shirt. "Wow... I honestly had forgotten." He felt uncomfortable saying this, seeing as they were just beginning to talk to each other in a civil manner. "I feel bad leaving them all along out there, Teresia... So I'm gonna check it out. If you don't want to come with me, you don't have to." He knew it was going to be extremely cold out there, but he figured the dwarves would either take him prisoner into somewhere warm, or actually listen and realize he's of no harm to them. Either way, he planned on checking it out.

Teresia frowned a bit while pondering about the situation. "I'd give you your shirt back, but it would be extremely awkward if I ran around with just my cloak and no top on. Either way, we'll be frozen to some extent, and it's difficult for me to use my Magix in hypothermic situations. At the same time, I don't want to be a coward and wait for you while you go off exploring dangerous, dwarf infested mountains at subzero temperatures."

Capell smiled. "Well, it looks like we're all set to go then." He picked up Sykes and snuggled her against his chest to keep warm. "Ready to go, little guy- Er... little girl?" He asked, feeling like it was going to be difficult to adjust to Sykes being a girl. "Anyways, we might as well head out now. For all we know they could be dead in the snow." He commented casually, like it happened all the time.

Teresia shot him a worried glance. "Um.. Capell... I know you're worried about Arya and Darkheart, but... don't you need to sleep at night?" she asked awkwardly. "I personally only need about an hour or two but..." she trailed off, playing with the flute in the hands.

Capell shook his head and continued to hold on to Sykes. "Nope. I sleep whenever I get the chance, and I actually slept a lot before we met, so I'll be fine for the next few hours." He replied, beginning to walk towards the mountains. "How much farther is it to the mountains, by the way?"

"At your snail's pace... about a day or two, and I'm most definitely not carrying you there," Teresia replied as she followed him. She put the flute into her bag and pulled her cloak around herself, shivering slightly from the rest of her dripping clothes.

Capell laughed, not knowing if she was saying it out of honesty or out of sarcasm. "Perfect, that's just enough time for the frostbite to kick in." He looked back as he continued walking. "So you're definately saying I need to pick up the pace then?"

Teresia rolled her eyes at him and pulled the cloak closer to herself. "I would personally run or sprint the whole way, but if I went on ahead, I might get ambushed by a werewolf or something. Plus, you'd take forever to catch up," she responded as her teeth chattered.

"Pssh, whatever." Capell looked at the mountains for a moment before looking back again. "I may not look like much, but I can run at a fair pace." He gripped Sykes closer and began to run. At first it was a decent run, then it turned into a full throttle sprint. "See if you call that slow, skinny~!" He yelled with a laugh.

"...what did you just call me?" Teresia asked, confused about the sudden nickname. She caught up with him easily and said, "Yes, I call that slow." Not much seemed to make sense to her anymore, and Capell was the biggest mystery of all. Her head began to throb, but she ignored the pain and continued running.

Capell continued to speed up, seeing this as more of a race than a run to see if his friends were okay. They eventually got to the bottom of the mountains, and Capell started to death-hug Sykes for warmth. "Well... Now that we're here, were's Arya? Or Dark? Or even those oh-so-bad dwarves you keep talking about?" He asked, his teeth chattering.

"I.. I... really don't know, my senses are blurred," Teresia replied almost pathetically. Her eyes kept drooping, and her cheeks were getting redder and redder with each passing moment. "My head really hurts and I feel really warm and cold at the same time..." she said, tapering off towards the end. The girl kept veering off-course and had several close calls since she could hardly walk in a straight line.

Capell looked at her with a odd look of concern. "Teresia..? You okay?" He cautiously asked, seeing as how the last time anybody didn't feel well someone got bitten. He was sure this wasn't going to happen this time, but he was still concerned that something bad was going to happen.

"Ah...?" Teresia obviously missed the question and looked at him in confusion. "I'm sorry.. I guess I was a bit dazed. It's about midday right now... aren't you tired?" she asked, the questions coming in through one ear and out the other. She unfastened her cloak and tossed it to him with miraculous accuracy. "It's.. a little hot... I figured you'd need it more," she murmured sheepishly.
