Wylie noticed Nieve, and frowned. "There isnt a freezer, I've looked, but if we go high enough up there will be snow." She crouched down. "C'mon, piggy-back." It was something they'd done with Nieve was younger, for fun, but Wylie was confident she could get her high enough fast enough.
Jameson nodded at Nieve's statement. "But how do I do that?"
Iniko shrugged, and lay back against the grass. "Well, you could always throw a tantrum." He smiled at Jarlan. "Don't act any special way. We're family, the four of us. Just because he donated genetics doesn't mean you have to immediately warm up to him. Just get to know him, and decide what to do later. Family's an emotional thing, not something determined by blood." Iniko- barely- managed to refrain from pointing out that by this point, Jarlan's DNA probably didn't even match Jameson's. HE laughed at his last statement. "Food sounds like a good start."

Nieve smiled at Jameson. "Just be there for him, and love him like we all do. He is your son after all." She climbed onto Wylie's back and relaxed against her. She rested her head on Wylie's shoulder softly, and for some odd reason she still felt like she was burning up. "Wylie, do I feel weird?" She was talking about her temperature, considering she didn't feel comfortable anymore, and she had a feeling she was still flushed.
Jarlan chuckled. "I . . . Thanks." He smiled and looked towards the door. "We probably should go back in, so I can throw my tantrum." He said it jokingly, and stood up, breathing in the pine tree smell. "We don't want to leave those girls to themselves. Who knows what they'll do?" He chuckled and held his hand out to Iniko to help him up if he needed it.

Jameson nodded, and turned back to cooking. "I suppose feeding him would be a good start." He said jokingly.
Wylie smiled when she felt Nieve on her back, already heading out the door into the brisk mountain air. "What? No, you feel norm-" Wylie stopped her sentence. "You're not cold." She wasn't warm, but for Nieve, not being cool to the touch was already a bad thing. Running faster, Wylie sped by the boys as they stood, pretty much a blur if they weren't paying attention. She deftly handled the terrain, heading up the hills and rocks without jostling Nieve at all. Meanwhile, part ofher mind was focused on making Nieve feel colder. It was an illusion, so it wouldn't do anything more than comfort her, she still needed to get to cold air, but as long as it helped Nieve, it was worth it.
Sooner than expected, but longer than Wylie would have liked, they reached a height where there was snow on the ground, and Wylie set Nieve down in it, panting and flushed from the exertion. Athletic by nature, Wylie was still only normal when it came to physical exertion.
Iniko had just stood, laughing with Jarlan, when he felt a rush of air go by him. Turning, his eyes flashing red, he got a glimpse of Wylie with Nieve on her back, running up. "Something wrong, Wylie and Nieve are heading up the mountain."

Jarlan blinked. "What?" He looked up to where he had seen the blurs and looked to Iniko. "Let's go!" He walked to the door quickly, and spoke to Jameson. "Be right back!" Jarlan then began running himself, no shoes, up the mountain, knowing Iniko could be faster than him. Long legs meant he did run fast, but he still had to deal with the terrain. He stepped on a bunch of rocks, but he pushed through, trying to see what was wrong with his friends.
Nieve stayed relaxed hugging on Wylie as she grew more uncomfortable. Then she felt a bit colder and relaxed, shutting her eyes. She tried to focus on staying cold, but was panicking on the inside. This doesn't happen to me, what's going on? That's when she was put in the snow, and she took in a deep breath of the cold air. Evie looked at Wylie and shook her head. "You didn't need to make yourself so tired Wylie." Nieve laid down in the snow, creating a small snow angel. She could feel it helping, and she felt her face. She still felt warmer than usual, and it freaked her out.

Wylie gave a wan smile. "Of course I did, you're one of my most important people, Nieve. I had to get you safe as soon as possible." Crouching down, she began piling snow on Nieve, not noticing as her clothing grew damp, and her hands began turning blue underneath her wet gloves. "Is this helping?"
Iniko used his time vision, but didn't go faster than Jarlan could keep sight of, worried about his feet. When he reached the snow and saw the half-buried Nieve, he ran over. "What's wrong?"

Nieve nodded, buried in the snow. "I'm alright now. Go get warm, you aren't made to stay in the cold for too long." She sat up when she heard Iniko's voice and she looked at her hands. "Nothing. I'm just . . . not cold." She said in an awkward voice. She felt her face again, and -though it was colder than it was minutes ago - it was still warm. She made a small tunnel in the snow with her hands, and then began making snow bricks. She was going to make an igloo for herself.
Jarlan was fine, his feet were a bit bruised, but he didn't feel it. He stayed off the snow, not having shoes and looked at Wylie, noting the color of her clothes changing. "Wylie, you're going to freeze, get over here. Iniko can handle it. C'mon, We can't have you getting sick." He motioned for her to come over and looked at Nieve worriedly.

Wylie shook her head. "I'll be fine, I'm sturdier than you think." She only kept heaping snow on her friend, plainly agitated from the worry. When she noticed the snow bricks, she frowned. "Igloos trap heat, Nieve, that'll only make you warmer." When Jarlan began talking to her, she frowned, but kept piling snow on Nieve. "I can recover from a cold, we don't know what's gonna happen to Nieve if she gets warm."
Iniko, confused, touched Nieve's shoulder. "How can I help?"

Nieve smashed the snow brick in, plainly agitated and panicked. "Why didn't I know that?" She kept wiggling her head out of the giant snow pile her friend was making on her and jumped when Iniko touched her shoulder. "I don't know! This has never happened to me before!" She was yelling in panic and finally just grabbed snow and shoved her face in it, holding her breath. After about twenty or so seconds she lifted her head and put the snow in her hair. "I feel a bit better." She took a deep breath and did something she was used to, made an ice box. She crawled into it, being that it was under the snow pile Wylie was making, and sat in it, letting the cold snow freeze up the inside. That seemed to help as the flush on her face went away and she looked out of the ice and gave a small smile, hoping to calm her friends.
Jarlan put his hands in the air. "Okay. You are right." He sat on a nearby rock, feeling helpless. "Maybe you guys should cover her little ice box some more." Then he thought for a minute and an idea popped up. "She was in an ice room, before we broke out. Maybe the change in temperature, or even the climate set her body off balance?" He smiled, thinking that this was a smart observation.

Iniko jumped when she yelled, but nodded, glancing around helplessly. When she just smothered her face in snow, he chewed on his lip nervously, brushinghis hair out of his face, and smiling when she said she felt a bit better. He was relieved when she made an ice box, since he thought that'd make it better, and it did.
Wylie finally calmed down a bit when Nieve smiled, and as Jarlan suggested, packed some more snow around her ice box. When the ice box had been almost completely covered, with the exception of the side she was looking out of, Wylie stood up and walked over to Jarlan, her white suit turned clear in specific spots from her escapades in the snow, such as her knees, shines, and arms.
"You're probably right, Jarlan. Damnit, why didn't I think of that?" Iniko gritted his teeth, worried he'd endangered Nieve.

Nieve looked at the snow around her and smiled, glad they could all find a way to cool her, literally. She could hear through the ice, and when she talked her voice was a bit muffled but still understandable. "It's not your fault Iniko. None of us could have known this would happen." She smiled again, and began etching small designs into her ice box. After five minutes, she felt much better, and created a hole in the box to climb out of. When she was out she smiled once more. "All better, I just need to adjust is all. I'll walk down slowly, that way I can adjust. You can all go ahead, I'm sure Jameson's worried."
Jarlan looked at the clear spots in her suit and shook his head. "What would Nieve had done without you. Let's just hope you don't get sick." He then watched as Nieve carved her designs and popped out of the box. "I'm glad you are feeling better.. And I think it's best if someone stays with you while you adjust." He gave her a look and she nodded. Jarlan's stomach then growled loudly and he flushed. "It's dinner time guys."

Iniko wanted to hug her the moment she popped out, but refrained himself because his body heat might have been what heated her up to his point. Guiltily, he smiled. "i'm glad you're better. I'll walk with you."
Wylie gave a slight smile to Jarlan, shrugging. "She'd've gotten up here somehow, and don't worry about me, I'll be fine." When she heard Jarlan's stomach growl, she chuckled, though it wasn't quite as loud as usual, signaling she was still worried.

Jarlan took that as time to go, and he began to walk down the mountain, motioning for Wylie to follow. "Let's give them some time... And let's get you so warm food." He was concerned about Wylie's health. They might not be human - not completely - but he was sure they could still get sick.
Nieve smiled softly and nodded. "Alright." She watched as Jarlan and Wylie began to head down and she sighed. She looked to Iniko and could see he felt responsible. "I'll say it a million times if I have to, this wasn't your fault. Alright? I should've thought about this in the plane.." She walked up to him and smiled endearingly and changed the subject. "Thanks for staying with me earlier." She said it softly and hoped he knew what she was talking about. She'd flush if she had to explain it, and she was scared it would heat her back up at this point.

Wylie trailed behind him, nodding. "You don't need to tell me, I was hte one trying to get you to give them privacy before, remember?" She smiled at him, teasing, and tilted her head, her hat balanced precariously. "Warm food sounds yummy."
Iniko gave a slight nod and a smile, but didn't look convinced. "Absolutely." He said in response to staying with her. "Any time you need me too." He brushed her hair out of her face, laughing at the snow still caught in the strands.

Jarlan chuckled. "I know. I was teasing too. Any food sounds yummy to me, but warm food sounds the best." He chuckled and rubbed his gurgling stomach, as if that would quiet it down. He had a small smile on his face, enjoying just the walk and then he got another idea. "How about when we get back, after food, we play some cards?" He asked it excitedly. He had a deck before, but none of the guards would play with him so he got good at solitaire.
Nieve chuckled and shook her head, getting most of the snow out of it, and also putting the hair back in her face. It was a hiding mechanism she had acquired before she had to wear that stupid mask. "What if I don't need you too, but want you too? Hm?" She was pulling many bold moves today, and she liked it.

Wylie laughed a bit and shook her head. "Why bother, you know I suck." She stuck out her tongue. "And you always catch me when I cheat." They'd just reached flat ground, so Wylie decided to be silly. "But I bet you can't catch me when I run!" And she burst out into a sprint, holding onto her hat so it wouldn't fly off.
Iniko grinned at that. "Then, too, of course." He pushed her hair out of her face again, nad after a moment, pulled the mask out of his pocket, but instead of tying it around her eyes, he tied it around her head, as a headband. "You look even cuter this way. I didn't think that was possible, hot stuff." He winked at her.
