[ Cashmere's curled up in her bed, wrapped in the blankets. her face has a little pink flush to her face gives away that she's a little chilly. ]

Given the weather, anybody want to cuddle?

[ Cash. Cash what are you doing. ]

You're cold.

[ Arya says, very seriously, because that is unacceptable. Cash should not be cold. Cash should have all the nice things, all the time. ]

What's cuddling?

[64th]

[ Idk someone take her phone away from her. ]

A little cold. [ she's thrown by the question. ] People don't cuddle where you're from? It's kind of like a long hug. Sometimes it's romantic. Sometimes it's not.

[whichend]

[ She shakes her head no. Maybe older people do, or people in stupid storybooks for little girls. Romance has never interested Arya. Boys are gross. ]

I don't think I'd be very good at romantic cuddling.

[ She bites her lip. ]

I can warm you up though?

[64th]

[ boys are gross. but useful! ]

Sure. I could use some company.

[ She cuts the feed, and then knocks on Cash's door, gently. It's one of the more gentler things she's done all week. ]

Will cuddling make you warm?

[ Kaz has left most of his old self behind, abandoned in the ashes of that helicopter crash. But some habits die hard, and given that he's wrapped up in his own blanket burrito with a fire started off-screen, he's reached a point where he's just plain bored.

So why not enjoy himself a little? He's not planning to actually cuddle, that would require leaving his apartment, but a conversation is harmless enough. ]

A pretty girl like you should be careful about making such a broad offer.

Re: video

[64th]

Maybe a pretty woman like me knows exactly what she's getting into when she makes such a broad offer. [ she grins. ]

[ That's a little more forward than Miller would have expected, and he shifts up a little in his seat, his attention officially seized. ]

So it's like that, is it? Where are you staying?

[ Much as it might sound like he's interested in taking her up on her offer, at this point Kaz is just curious. ]

[64th]

[ good, she likes curious. ]

House 1501. The door's locked, but if you ask nicely I could be persuaded to get out of bed long enough to open it for you.

[vendetta]

That's way too far.

[ Kaz shakes his head. If she'd been in the same apartment building as him, he might have actually considered it, but even then it would have come down to how many flights of stairs he'd have to climb.

He isn't lazy, exactly, but when something that comes easily to everyone else takes way more time and effort for him, it does act as a deterrent. ]

Still, talking to you takes my mind off the cold, at least. What's your name?

This is a joke, right? [ only mildly condescending! ]

Re: voice

[64th]

Do I sound like I'm joking? [ maybe people shouldn't leave her unsupervised. look what she gets into! ] I take cuddling very seriously.

voice

[unitas]

Maybe you should take the situation more seriously. [ there are abominable snowmen outside that want to eat her face, along with ice statue zombies, ain't nobody got time to deal with that for some cuddling action! ]

voice

[64th]

I am taking it seriously. I am seriously cold.

[ but she gets what Sharon means. ] I plan to stay here, nice and cozy, until all the insanity has passed.

voice

[unitas]

But you're willing to let others risk themselves for a couple of hours of cuddling? [ you may stay safe, she thinks, but the ones coming to you likely won't. ]

[zen_en_vert]

No thank you, Cashmere, but I might bring some cocoa by. Or the closest thing I've found to it.

[64th]

[ wow, that's a polite way to turn her down. ] Do you have the little marshmallows?

[zen_en_vert]

I don't even have one hundred percent real chocolate, just something sweet and close-ish. But it's sweet and warm and seems to have a good caloric content.

[64th]

You might want to work on your pitch a little. But I'll take close-ish if you're offering.

[zen_en_vert]

I'll come over and make some for everyone.

[He promises, and disconnects, just for now. He's on his way.]

[dragonbite]

Do you have a cold?

video

[64th]

No?

video

[dragonbite]

You look like it.

[ Because what's the difference between cold and cold. ]

video

[64th]

What? Well, I feel fine.

[ she fusses with her phone a moment, flipping it to selfview, and then it all clicks. ]

Oh! Cold, not sick.

video

[dragonbite]

Ah, oh. Okay. Then you should do something about that.

[ Wasn't that what she was trying to do though? ]
