Frostbite's basically when your skin freezes, and your body stops sending blood to your fingers or ears or toes.

[ Cisco keeps adjusting the temperature of the water by slow increments, from cool to warm to just below hot, looking down at Rey's hands, watching closely for any signs of damage. It also helps him to avoid her gaze, which he can feel on him - the guilt and concern of it. The fear seeps out of him, and by the time he shuts off the water, he feels a bit silly for having reacted as strongly as he did. He pulls down a towel and dries off Rey's hands.

When he makes himself look up finally, he smiles, but it's small, sadder around the edges than he realizes. ]


Naw, don't apologize. I'm just sort of, uh, paranoid about it.

[ Moreso than he had realized, apparently. He nods his head towards the fire, where there are two rocking chairs piled with blankets. Cisco doesn't join her there right away, though. Instead, he goes to a coat that is hanging from a hook by the door, digging into its pockets. He pulls from them a pair of knitted gloves. They are nothing all that special: they are plain black and unadorned, but they're warm. Cisco comes over to Rey and holds them out towards her, simply. ]

They're spares. You should have them.
