Because it's cold in here.

The Body Heat Meme

1. Post with your character! They're now stuck in a very cold place of your choice. It can be anything, such as a freezing chamber, a cavern or a small cabin in the midst of a blizzard. The choice is up to you.
2. Comment around! Now your character has some company in this bone-chilling environment. The two of them share two things in common: clothes completely unfitting for this weather (be they summer clothes or even lingerie) and a blanket.
3. A blanket? Yes, just one warm blanket and no other ways to escape the cold. The two of them will have to share it in order to stay alive in this weather. Don't worry, you're sure to find a common language in this terrible situation!
4. So, uh, have fun, I suppose. Try to not freeze to death!
5. Protip: friction and body heat are both excellent ways to fend off cold.

[So she got her honest answer. In all truth, she's surprised by that. It's unusual to get him to open up, even just a little. She replies with a soft smile.]

Sharing a blanket with someone, you mean?

[Her tone is more serious, too, though she can't quite keep the hint of amusement out of it. It's such an innocent thing, sharing a blanket with someone because it's cold. But significant nonetheless; most people, she wouldn't trust enough. She's actually not sure if she ever has done something like that before, now that she's thinking about it.]

[oldghost]

[Honestly, thinking about it, he doesn't think he's ever done it, either. The past ten years he wasn't too comfortable with the idea of sharing close space with anyone, and before that.... Well. As for being a little truthful once in a while, it happens. And this moment felt right for it.]

Yeah.

[He never gives her - or the others, for that matter - too serious questions. Not because he doesn't want to know, but because he figures she'll say when she's ready, or wants to. He'll wait until then. And, also, maybe he's afraid of how personal it will get if he does. What kind of doors does that open? No, he'll wait.]

So. [His tone changes again, back to that lighter, perky tone he uses most of the time.] What were you thinkin' when I peeked in the blanket?

[lovelydragoon]

[Likewise, she doesn't try to invite serious conversations too much. He doesn't pry--but she knows that if she keeps asking serious questions, eventually he'll start asking them in return. This one, however, is back to being silly. She replies with an amused look.]

Exactly what I said.

[She says it in a joking way, but it's the truth, and a more serious answer than her tone would reveal.]

[oldghost]

Ah, just that I was bein' me. That's borin'.

[Lies. It's safe. But he's supposed to answer that way, yes? Besides, if there's anything he's learned, it's that Judith knows the game, so he's safe entrusting that side of himself with her. She doesn't become enraged like Rita does, and she knows where not to tread. But, sometimes, Raven forgets he's constantly inviting her to.]

[lovelydragoon]

Is it?

[She gives him a brief glance, then looks off at some point in the distance, a privately amused smile on her face.]

[oldghost]

[Well, that seems like a reminder to keep the facade, and he decides not to push that.]

Okay, it's kinda boring. But maybe not so bad, either.

[lovelydragoon]

I suppose.

[Another glance in his direction. It sounds the same way to her; "boring" as it may be, he likes his mask. Makes her wonder about the less boring Raven she doesn't know as well, but for now, she's not going to push.]

[oldghost]

[And for now, he's convinced he prefers it that way. But they're still sharing a blanket, Judith barely dressed, warm bodies near in the cold.]

[lovelydragoon]

[There is still that, and for now she'll take comfort in both the closeness and the distance.]
