Cold, but for how long?

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.

[ How they got caught in a blizzard early spring is not a tale worth telling.

The snow started falling quite suddenly and in lack of other opportunities, she and the other woman who was blonder than gold and younger than Bilis had been for years at this point, sought cover together in the same cave. Bilis has gotten separated from her band a few miles back and wasn't too concerned with reuniting with them, though the snowstorm was severe and the cold was seeping in. Truly, she was more interested in the young woman who was also alone, out here, what had she lost to end in this place forsaken by all divine things? What had she left behind? What had she discovered?

Besides Bilis, sitting opposite her now, watching her in the shadows. She seems almost translucent, this girl.

So, Bilis asks the first question you ask a stranger who shan't remain one such, her words chipped from the cold, ]

What is your name?
