[iceboxed]

kinda feells like burning
i dont think the roomis tooo hot
just me being too cold
like a hot showerr after an ice bath

[which...he has no idea whether she knows about his previous experience with that or not]

[consequence]

your body can go into shock if you do that.

[She sends that and then waits... and then sends another.]

where are you?

[iceboxed]

it shouldnt

[go in to shock, he means. the bite is meant to prevent things like that. only, he's seen what happens on this ship first hand. he knows he shouldn't be surprised he's being affected by these temperature changes so easily.]

my room
nott the one on dereks floor

[consequence]

[If he's feeling the cold and the heat so sensitively, she figures all the other "shouldn't happen" things are out the window. She's not even sure if she should do this, if she should offer, but he texted her for a reason and she doesn't think it was to just give her an update on his current weather stats.]

do you want help?

[iceboxed]

if youve got any ideasure

[if asked, he won't give an answer as to why he contacted hayley first, of all people. that's something he's keeping to himself for now. something he won't share because she'd doubtlessly read too much in to it. too much in to the idea that perhaps, on the smallest of levels, he does actually trust her.]

[consequence]

if you're staying in your room and it's too cold i have blankets and booze. i know alcohol wont get you guys drunk, but it might help you feel warmer.

[She's not reading into anything other than the thought that if he's texting her he's at least not putting her at arms length. Trust or not, that's good enough for her right now.]

[iceboxed]

ive never beenn drunk before

[because that's all he's taken from that for now. give him a moment]

ive got blankets
and hoodies
you canh ave one

[consequence]

are you staying warm with all your blankets and hoodies?

[iceboxed]

trying to
need toget warm 1st to stayu warm

[consequence]

if you need more blankets i have some

[She hasn't just flat out asked if he wants her to come help him, mostly because she really doesn't want to be told no after all of this back and forth.]

[iceboxed]

[there's a moment's delay before this reply. he's just as unwilling to ask as she is. except-]

if i asked you for hotchocolate would youu make some

[consequence]

[For as much trouble as that other ship had been, with the trapped in the hallways and all the hassle of trying to be careful about being faster than the average person... she's really glad that she went. Things that she never would have taken for granted back home, like instant cocoa, aren't that easy to come by in space and finding it in one of the galleys had been something she barely thought about. She just shoved it in her backpack and kept looking for more non-perishables. Now, she's glad she has it.]

i can make hot cocoa.

[She's pretty sure she'd have to make it and bring it to him. If he's in subzero temperatures there's no way she'd be able to make it in his room. Besides, it does need hot water, not out of the faucet hot water.]

i could bring it to you.

[Unless...]

or you could meet me in the kitchen on your level.

[iceboxed]

[it'd be neutral grounds. he knows that. if he's going to meet with her, then the kitchen is definitely the better choice. but that's the choice the others would want him to make. (not that they'd want him to meet with hayley in the first place). and that's the very reason his reply is simply-]

then i have to get out of bed
:(

[shush he's allowed to act like a five year old sometimes]

[consequence]

[Is that...? Did he just emoticon a frowny face at her? What does that even mean for someone in high school?? She feels really old all of a sudden and frowns.

But... not like the emoticon.

ANYWAY!!]

you're going to answer the door with all of your linens wrapped around you. aren't you

[iceboxed]

[blame ric. the end.]

i forgot about that
im gonna turn in to an icicle opening the door

[consequence]

you could try to come here. my rooms been hovering around arizona dry heat.

without shade.

1/2

[iceboxed]

you want me to come to youir room

[iceboxed]

[okay no, he needs to remember who he's talking to.]

ii kinda need to be able to feel my feet again before i even try to move again

[consequence]

not sure you staying in the spot that is making you cold is going to help with that.

[She won't push it though, because she knows. She knows that she still has a huge red, blinking neon sign above her that reads 'werewolves died because of her' and that it's not going away anytime soon.]

i can come there if that's okay

[iceboxed]

derek doesnt come up here if thats what youre worried about

[consequence]

no, i care what you want.

[iceboxed]

i just want to get out of here without feeling like im gonna catch fire

also cocoa

[consequence]

i can bring you cocoa if you want me to.

[This is the worst game of 'come over chicken' ever.]

[iceboxed]

its ok

[there's a long delay before he continues, mostly because he's trying to work out whether this is really a good idea or not.]

your rooms warmer

[consequence]

then come over.

[She sends it and then just leaves it. She won't pressure or ask him again and if he changes his mind, then she won't think about it.]
