The Body Heat Meme



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.
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.
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!
So, uh, have fun, I suppose. Try to not freeze to death!
Protip: friction and body heat are both excellent ways to fend off cold.

She blinked, looking over at him with a smirk at his first comment. He knew full well there was no one else nor were elves the type to be so intimate with anyone whom they weren't extremely close with. He was the only one.

"I would prefer warmer weather, but sitting fireside is... oddly comforting," she said. Romance may not have been her style, but it was fitting now that they were comfortably resting with one another. She could easily stay like this until they fell asleep together.

"A good drink and a more comfortable seat would not go amiss, but yes, the fire is rather pleasant."

He rather liked that she was not overly romantic. They could just be comfortable together, like the old friends they were, without having to worry about impressing one another. Besides, she felt right there by his side.

"We shall have to do this more often." He hoped they could spend many more nights together like this. Well, perhaps not quite like this. He could do without the winter storm raging outside, but he would certainly enjoy sitting with her in front of a warm fire, or perhaps stargazing, many more nights in the future.

"Tauriel, when we return I wish to speak with my father and make my intentions known." He paused, looking over at her. "With your permission."

It seemed fair to ask, since declaring his feelings for the Captain openly would effect her just as much as himself.

"I think we should do it a fair amount more," she told him. In truth she wanted to see where this could go now that it was an option. It might be hard for them, seeing how well Thranduil takes it. But then he's already made it clear he was willing to fight for her.

"Of course. Do you wish me to be there?"

He paused for a moment, considering that question. On the one hand, he felt he would gain strength having her by his side when he confronted his father. This matter certainly involved her, and she had a right to hear what his father had to say. On the other, he worried his father might lash out at her. Legolas was his son, and in the end, he could only become but so angry with him. Tauriel did not necessarily have that same protection, though he knew that his father was rather fond of her, and always had been.

"I would like you there, but I am not sure it is entirely wise. What do you think?"

She had a different perspective on his father, and he valued her insight.

“I’m not afraid of your father,” she replied back, lifting her chin to look back at him. But she knew that wasn’t necessarily the problem. Thranduil was going to be tough, and she knew her presence may encite him.

“But he may take it better coming from you. I will be there if you need me to, but it would be your decision, Legolas.”

"I never thought you were." Legolas assured her, smiling a little. "Even when we were small, you showed no fear. I did not know someone could glare so fiercely until I met you." He teased with a smile, remembering his friend as she was in those days. That fierce little elfling who would never let him win at anything simply because he was the Prince.

He then paused for a moment, considering and playing out the conversation with Thranduil in his mind. "But I think perhaps I ought to talk to him alone first."

This was a conversation that needed to take place between father and son. It was not going to be easy. His father was fond of Tauriel, but he did not see her as a match for his son. To open his father's heart to the idea, he would need a great deal of convincing. The King was a private person, and so having this conversation between them alone first was probably the best course of action.

"Bursting into the throne room, with you by my side, declaring my love and devotion to you, no matter what he may say, probably is not the best idea."

“I had the same thought,” she replied in response. Thranduil would likely dig his heels in deeper on the matter of her. Legolas knew how to approach him. It was at least worth a shot if it meant trying to keep their lives the same, keep a family together. “If you needed me at your side, I would always be there though”

Whatever he would need her for. Just like she knew he would always be there for her, as he had always been.

"I know you will." He assure her, smiling a little and leaning down to kiss her cheek. "I have never doubted your heart, meleth nîn."

It meant a lot that he would say that, all of it. She gave him a gentle smile in return. “I do not know what else I could offer, but ask it of me if there is anything I could do,” Tauriel responded to him. It may not be an easy conversation to have, but she could already tell that since they had their own much needed conversation, she was letting herself feel things she never had before. It was good to feel less restrained.

"Thank you." He shifted slightly to draw her into his arms, enjoying the feeling of having her so close. "But you offer enough by just being yourself. Knowing I have you by my side in heart is truly all I could need."

Her grin widened at that. She had known for sometime deep down that he had felt this way. It felt good that it was out in the open now. "We should probably rest. It will be a long day tomorrow," she told him, knowing they had to trek back, and he was likely to see his father at some point.

"You are right." He keeping an arm around her he tucked the blanket in closer, so that they could rest against one another.

He doubted, however, that he would be able to quiet his mind. At the moment it was reeling with all that had transpired between them in the cave, with this open and honest conversation, and all the possibilities the future now held.

"In the morning, when the storm passes, we shall journey home."
