"Put your weight on me.... I'm a lot stronger than I look, I can hold you...." She began moving both of them to the water, smelling more of her fur scorching from his flames. She felt the moisture in the soil as she made it with him to the banks of the river.
Looking over to him, she spoke again, wrapping her tail around his middle to make sure he didn't collapse on her. "Here we go, Ignaas...." She edged him towards the water of the stream.

Icy, weak eyes looked ahead of the two of them, trying to see where they were heading for. With everything being so lush and full of life, being here didn't make sense. Did Koorie want him to burn up everything around them? If so, she was making sure he was in the absolute perfect place to do it!
"Okay.." As he leaned over onto her, he could smell her fur being singed off and away into ashes. He cringed as he very unintentionally hurt her, making her endure pain that she didn't even have to be involved in. What a strong prince he was, eh?
"Koooorie... I can... Can do it.. Go..", he mumbled some, just wanting her to get out of the way so she wouldn't be hurt any longer.

Koorie ignored his protests and kept her tail wrapped tightly around him. "Here we go...." Using all of her forward momentum, she splashed into the stream, pulling Ignaas in with her and doing her best to make sure he kept his head above the gently moving water. She pulled him farther, making sure that the water would wash over the majority of his body.
The cool water washed over her own body, and it felt soothing compared to the burning she had felt from the prince's close presence.

Suddenly, waves of water were moving all over the burning wreckage of a body, sizzles, crackles, and pops erupting from basically out of nowhere. The flaming Minya broke out into a howl of sheer pain, frantically trying to escape the cooling liquid. Steam began to pour into the air, filling it very quickly. It was becoming so thick and the water so warm that this may of well of been a hot spring of some type, rather than a cool river.
"AAAARRRRRHHHH!!", Ignaas howled some more, his body slowly becoming rock hard and heavy, his once glowing orange and red fur becoming a very dark and deep crusted brown, what looked to be cracks of all sorts running through it.

Koorie held tight to him and used her entire strength to pull him from the water. Once on the banks, she began to clean herself of the liquid which was soaking her fur. The fur on the length of her tail, right before the cotton puff, was singed almost to a black.
She used her front paws to brush her soaking and matted hair from her face, taking her crown off and placing it on the ground next to her. She then looked to Ignaas with an unreadable expression. "You ok...?"

The completely burnt out prince didn't say a word. He lay there silently on the banks, soaked to the bone, yet dry as a rock, his whole body looking like it had just been roasted for a fancy feast. His icy blue eyes were wide open, and he simply stared off into the luscious green plant material that surrounded the two of them. He breathed quietly, but didn't move, didn't speak, and didn't blink. This prince had just hit rock bottom.

Koorie watched him, waiting for some sort of sign that he was alright, before giving up and going back to cleaning herself. "What ever...." She muttered; she really should learn to just stop caring about others.
Tenderly she licked the burned area on her tail, wincing a bit when she tasted the singed fur. That was the price she had to pay for being a concerned citizen, she supposed.

Ignaas continued to lie completely still, his breathing being slow and silent. After a few moments, when Koorie got quite upset and went to give her tail some very much needed attention, the once flaming prince blinked, his eyes traveling up to the icy blue princess. He watched her carefully, willing his body to move. It was so stiff though from the sudden surge of water passing over him, that it was practically impossible.
He would overcome that though.
Slowly and quietly, he began to shift himself upward, his blue eyes set on what he wanted. Koorie, the most esteemed Ice Princess. His blacked paws cracked some as they pushed themselves off of the ground, his feet stumbling to keep themselves together. Once he was finally standing, sort of, he stumbled a bit more, but forward this time, and right over to his target. His icy gaze stayed with his passion, never leaving her for a second. As he neared towards her, he quickly brought his front paws up, his whole body falling forward and onto the princess, his paws clasping themselves around her icy blue neck, his head landing next to her own.
"Thhhank..... Yyyyyou........ Koooooooooooorrieee...", he whispered ever so quietly, his eyes finally falling shut.

Koorie's ears had twitched when he'd started moving, but she hadn't expected to find the Prince's full body weight topling on top of her. She let out a surprised sound as they both were pulled to the ground. She wiggled a bit as she felt the paws latch around her neck and his head next to hers.
She froze when she heard him whisper to her, then sighed and gave up her struggle, looking over to him to see that his eyes were closed; he'd probably fallen asleep.
"Curse me actually caring..." She muttered, not bothering to kick Ignaas off of her. He needed to rest, especially after all of that.

"Caaare... Koooorriee..... Thhhank... Yyyyyou...", he muttered a bit more, his eyes opening in the slightest bit. He didn't move another muscle, as he had just finally wore himself out. That was probably a little too much for him to really deal with right now, but Koorie had just saved his life... His life! He couldn't explain why.. Nor did he care. She cared for him... And after this, he was never going to let her live it down.
"I.... I.. Haaaave... Ssssomething.. To say.....", he whispered once more, his eyes starting to fall shut again.

Koorie's ears and tail flicked a bit as he spoke; great, that meant he'd heard her talking to herself.... Crap, he knew that she cared about him; she'd never be able to live that one down.
"Unless it's a life or death matter, Ignaas, you should rest...." She closed her eyes and sighed. "I'll be here when you wake up, and you can tell me then, alright?"

"Nooo.. It.. It can't wait.... It.. Maaaattersss.." His voice trailed off a bit. He was tired and worn out. This hadn't exactly been an average day or anything. It had started out with a big and glorious party, and ended in a very rocky manner. Ignaas would overcome it though... So as to be able to tell Koorie what he wanted to. Then, and only then, would he pass out.
"Koooorrieee.. I.... I.. I looove yyyou....."

Koorie felt her face turn a bright red under her coat of fur, and she was speechless for a while. Finally, she gained her tongue and sighed. "You're tired and delusional Ignaas, get some rest, and we'll talk once you wake up..."
Mentally, Koorie's head was starting to swim. 'He loves me?! Is he on some sort of weird drug? How can someone 'love' me?! I am a very unlovable Minya... and he's only known me for a few days, even if they were separated by a month....'

By the time Koorie had spoken to him again, he had already fallen victim to the Boogie Man, his eyelids glued shut and the slightest snore coming from his partially open mouth. His whole body lay limp on her now, his words still swimming around in the air around them, bugging Koorie to the ends of the Earth.
Much to her dismay, Ignaas loved her, and it was no joke, nor was he delusional or on some sort of wonder drug. He loved her for who she was, whether she approved of it or not. One of these days, she would learn that love came in all sorts of packages, one of them being the rough and beat up kind that had a very gentle and tender present on the inside.

Koorie lay there, trapped by Ignaas' grip around her neck, listening to him breath and snore. At least he was resting. Her mind, however, was far from resting, and she couldn't stop thinking about what Ignaas had said. If he was telling the truth, it would explain why he kept stalking her....
