first encounter ; 0 days

If there were any luck in the world, Chivason would have been sound asleep by now. He'd had a wonderful dinner — courtesy of sweet, old Mrs. Jann — and he'd eaten enough to be pleasantly drowsy, and then some. To cap it all off, she'd offered him a bed (a bed) and tucked him in as only a grandmother could. He didn't really have much to worry about, still having a few valuables tucked away in his knapsack, enough to cover a few weeks even if she decided to change her mind about letting him stay free-of-charge, and he certainly hadn't been here long enough to need to think about moving on.

Whatever the reason, though, he stayed in bed long enough to need to roll over half a dozen times before he finally gave up. Carefully tucking the blanket back under the pillow, he snagged his knapsack and tiptoed outside. He let his mind drift as he walked, hoping it would help him relax enough to actually sleep. He had liked his last stop, even gone so far as to make a few friends. He should have known better than to try helping Lia find her necklace. She was too excited when she asked him if he would walk with her. He scoffed softly at himself— then tripped, tried to catch himself, and faceplanted in the dirt.

Frowning at the idea, Sefton carefully curled his legs up against his chest. "'We'?" he repeated.

"Wh-what?" Sefton scowled, entirely unamused that someone was laughing in the current situation.

"It's not that," he refuted, scowl still present. "It's... my shoes." Sefton shook his head. "Forget it."

"Don't wanna take 'em off," Sefton said, shaking his head a little. He was still unamused at Chivy's amusement.

"No..." Sefton grimaced, realizing he was probably making less sense than usual. Time to wake up. "Don't wanna lose 'em."

"Will you touch?" Sefton asked, needing to make sure Chivy wouldn't accidentally go something that would activate his power while his shoes were off.

Sighing quietly, Sefton dropped his head back down onto the seat, even if it looked kind of uncomfortable. "Yeah, 'guess so."

"Just pull 'em off," was all he said, although he didn't sound all that pleased with the idea. Sefton wasn't in the best position to come up with a solution at the moment, especially when he he didn't know what sort of tools they might have on hand aside from a boat and a blanket.

Sefton huffed thoughtfully. "Dunno. Probably 's fast as it froze before. Maybe a little slower, though."

"Pretty fast," he said. Sefton shifted around in his seat, attempting to move the blanket from his legs for Chivy while covering the rest of himself. Most of the water had dried around his legs thanks to how long he had been waiting on the rock, but wind mixed with the cold in his shoes kept the bits of frost stuck to his shoes, ankles and pants.

The warm water hissed on contact with the frozen pieces stuck around Sefton's ankles. The boy gasped a bit at the sudden change in temperature when the water slid down the rest of his foot, then groaned as he could tell that the cool-field his shoes were generating had begun to its way against the water Chivy was pouring. It wasn't freezing just yet, but it was losing its effectiveness.

"It's getting cold already," he told Chivy, realizing the other wouldn't be able to tell simply from watching.

"Guess so," Sefton said, watching where Chivy held the towel very intently. The area where Chivy had dried felt a bit raw, since some of the ice had stuck around, but the plan in general seemed to be working. "Still say 'should just pull 'em off."
