Title: February Air Rating: G Length: 190 words Competitor: Wyldon Round/Fight: 1/A Summary: My arms get cold / in February air / Please don't lose hold / of me out there. "February Air" by Lights.
-----
The biting night wind cut straight through her clothing and chilled her to the bone. Keladry shivered, hugging herself tightly, and called herself seven kinds of idiot for forgetting to put on warmer clothes and especially for volunteering for sentry duty at all. It was only that Mastiff required so little worrying, and that was all she did when she was away from New Hope; she had only wanted to feel useful.
“Cold?”
Somehow, she wasn’t surprised to find him there.
“Not really,” she lied through chattering teeth. “At least, I’m not when there’s no wind.”
“It’s supposed to pick up,” Wyldon pointed out mildly. “There’s a storm brewing somewhere that way and it’s sending the wind here.”
Kel had nothing to say to that. He had a way of cutting through her defenses. Still, when he wrapped his arm around her shoulders and brought her up close to him, she didn’t hesitate to slide her arms under her shirt to feel the heat of his body.
He rested his chin on top of her head, and they both stared out at the dark empty road leading away from Mastiff.

Lovely way to keep warm! I adore the line about him being able to cut through her defences, and of course, the sharing of sentry duty.
