"All right the supplies arrived...wait a sec the others are in trouble?"
Nometal dashed out of the door to go and help the supplies group.

Rhys couldn't believe his ears and eyes.
"W-was that... Siegell? And he said he's... HELPING? And what was that blue stuff? For a moment there, I couldn't figure out what it was and thought it was some crazy upside-down flood..."
Well, he couldn't afford not to go see Siegell's package. After all, considering the rash of monster attacks, there was actually a good chance that the packace in question would be useful (if not vital) to everyone inside.
Opening the door, he hurried downstairs, running at first. About that time, he noticed all the sleeping bodies.
"Hey! Wake up, all of you! What are you doing on the ground? This is no time to be sleeping," Rhys said sternly, rapping a few people on the head with the butt of his Heal staff. He walked up to the door and opened it, seeing the large blue bag outside, surrounded by snow. He peeked inside...
I never thought I'd say this, but Siegell... thank you.

Valter woke with a start, feeling a sharp pain in his head.
"Huh? Wha? What happened?" The puzzled wyvern knight asked.
Then he remembered the galdr.
"That song..."

When the wyvern later returned, Siegell was not the only rider. Amelia shakily slid off of the saddle and hit the snow-covered ground, holding the cloak Siegell had offered tightly around her. "...Th-Thanks," she told him, sounding honestly grateful for once. She unwrapped the cloak from around her body and held it out for Siegell to take. As soon as it had been taken back by its owner, Amelia trooped into the house. She was ready to warm up at the fire again. Maybe get a little bit to eat, she decided as her stomach growled.

[A little too lazy to switch mules while making this post, so Siegell will be played through this account now and again.]
Tibarn was busily helping to unpack the food that was delivered, but when he saw Amelia step inside, followed by none other than Siegell, he jumped to his feet! "So... Rhys was right." He stared, a bit dumbfounded, at the Wyvern rider, who huddled his cloak around himself as he and Amelia both moved toward the smoldering fire. The house was starting to run low on wood, just a stack of logs left. Siegell grabbed a poker and lightly poked at the fire until a fresh flame caught and began to burn a little more warmly.
As people stared and started to ask him questions, Siegell simply raised his hand. "I will answer everything once I've warmed up. Just... give me a bit, okay?" He hung his cloak over an armrest and grabbed a blanket, huddling under it.

Blossom also aided Tibarn in unpacking food. As she carried armfuls of salted meats or sacks of flour or boxes of jerky, she heard the door open and someone come in. "Who's there?" Blossom called over her shoulder. She was busy kneeling on a counter, pushing food into the cabinet where it would fit.
Amelia sat down near the fire, wrapping her borrowed jacket tightly around herself. Her nose and cheeks were pink from the cold, as if she had become permanently embarrassed. She held her numbing fingers in front of the fire, and slowly the cold melted away to pinpricks of heat, then comfortable warmth. She stayed quiet, images of the monstrous clock tower beast flashing in front of her eyes that effectively shut her up. Bits of snow in her gold hair melted and created little streaks of dampness, but she didn't seem to notice.

Renault followed Siegell and Amelia in soon enough; it seemed he hadn't wasted any time in getting back to the house. He pushed through the door with one shoulder; Soren was still in his arms. Once in, he disregarded Blossom's question long enough to move to a chair, laying the still-unconscious sage in it gently; then he turned back to the girl with a smile. "Renault," he told her. "The others should be arriving soon. They were both only a little ways behind me." Ignoring the fact that he'd just come in, he immediately moved over to the pile of food, assisting in putting it away.

Blossom watched as Renault began to put various foods in their proper places. "Are you sure you don't wanna warm up? It's really cold outside." Blossom paused, then shrugged a little. It was his choice, and she knew that if it came down to it, more than one person was definitely able to make him rest. She removed a box of fruit from the pile and went to place it in the icebox.

The bishop shook his head, continuing to move things from the canvas to the shelves. "No, I'm fine, thank you," he told the girl. "As you can see, I'm wrapped up warmly today, and I walked all the way back over here holding Soren; the exercise kept me warm as well. But, that aside, moving will help me warm up, and what better way to do that than to help with this?" He smiled over at Blossom gently. "Don't worry about me, my child. I'll be fine; I do take better care of my health than I used to."

Blossom nodded slowly. It made enough sense; he was sure bundled up enough for two people. She wondered vaguely what had happened if he had to carry Soren back over, but dismissed it. She nodded energetically. "The more people help, the quicker this gets done," she decided with a bright smile. Blossom went to pulling apples and oranges from the crate, arranging them neatly in the icebox, trying to save as much space as possible.

"I can help too!" Valter said as he sprang to his feet and started to put things away. (A task worthy of the greatest general in all of Grado!)

Blossom smiled wide at Valter's appearance. "Glad to have the help!" she chirped. She went back to the tarp and hefted up a second box, gripping it firmly in her small hands. "Oof... heavy," she commented to no one in particular as she wobbled back to the icebox, successfully getting the box to the floor without crushing her fingers.

"Glad to be helping", he replied as he relocated a random box.

Fire Dragon soon enough after Renault, with Nils still in his arms. After opening the door with his side, he wasted no time with greetings. Rather, he immediately went in search of a room with a bed for Nils.

Ninian opened her eyes sleepily, snapping awake when she saw Nils in the Fire Dragon's arms.
"Nils?!" she gasped, following the Fire Dragon down the hall and to an empty room. "What happened to him?" she asked.
