A shudder wracked him as he came back to himself, gulping in a breath, shivering violently, teeth chattering as his body realized how cold<\/em> he\u2019d been, though he hadn\u2019t physically been up in the heights, he might as well have been. Sif tugged gently free of his arms and wrapped one of their blankets around his shoulders, kneeling in front of him and cradling his face between her palms. The warmth of her hands and fingers bled into his flesh, starting to quell the chattering, the shivers.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t know if I\u2019ll ever be really used to doing that again,\u201d he muttered, still shivering, though less so. \u201cBloody hell.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAre you all right?\u201d<\/p>\n

He nodded. \u201cYeah. Yeah, I\u2019m okay. Just bloody cold<\/em> in the heights of those storms, you know? I\u2019d forgotten.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s been a long time since you just went seeking<\/em> one,\u201d she murmured, settling back with him again and wrapping her arms around him. He shifted the blanket slightly to draw her underneath it with him, one arm encircling her waist. \u201cYou\u2019ve just been controlling them lately.\u201d<\/p>\n

That brought another shiver that had nothing to do with the depths of cold he\u2019d just experienced. \u201cYeah,\u201d he said quietly. \u201cIf I have to do that again, it\u2019s going to be far too soon.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYou know you\u2019ll have to eventually.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cEventually. But hopefully not soon<\/em>.\u201d He closed his eyes, leaning his head back again. The shakes were easing. His teeth had stopped chattering, his body remembering that he was, in fact, warm and safe. \u201cToo much all around the same time is going to screw up the weather patterns a hell of a lot more than they\u2019re already screwed up. I\u2019d like to avoid that.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cHave you told anyone that?\u201d<\/p>\n

Thordin shook his head. \u201cNo. Not yet. Kind of hoping I won\u2019t have to. I\u2019m sure some of them probably suspect.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cBut do they know?\u201d<\/p>\n

He shrugged. \u201cMaybe. But not because I told them.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cDo you think you should say something?\u201d<\/p>\n

It was a question that had weighed on his mind for a while, and he thought about it again as he stared at the ceiling.<\/p>\n

\u201cMaybe,\u201d he said finally. \u201cBut the last time I had to do it, I was just seizing a storm someone else had called. Something was going to end up screwed up either way.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cDo you think they\u2019ll ask you to call a storm on your own?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cNo,\u201d he said, and meant it. \u201cNo, I don\u2019t think so. Not unless things are a lot more dire than they\u2019ve ever been. I hope against hope that\u2019s not going to happen.\u201d<\/p>\n

Her arms tightened around him. \u201cThat makes two of us.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
