There was insensitive, and then there was insensitive, Priestess thought, holding gently to Noble Fencer’s shoulders.

“Hachoo!” Someone gave a dainty sneeze from the cold.

She tried to cover her red face with her mouth, but it was too late. The elf’s sharp ears had picked up the direction of the sound, in which she now looked with a grin. Noble Fencer was staring at Priestess in a way that was not very ladylike.

“I… I couldn’t help it. It’s cold out.”

“……Yes. It is,” Noble Fencer muttered, but there was a hint of a smile at the edges of her lips. Priestess was sure of it.

Ohhh…

Part of her was proud to have evoked this reaction—but she was a little too embarrassed to consider it a lucky break.

“You’re right, though,” High Elf Archer said, the color of her face uninspiring. “It really is cold out here, especially in this getup.” Her ears twitched restlessly. “I think my ears are going to freeze clean off.”

“They don’t call it the snowy mountain for nothing,” Goblin Slayer said from outside the cage. He signaled Dwarf Shaman to stop. Then he reached into his item pouch and pulled out a blanket, although its usefulness against the cold was minimal.

“It’s a bitter wind,” Dwarf Shaman said. “What do you say, Scaly—er, monk?”

“I myself must dress warmly lest I be rendered immobile.” The lizardman was wearing his normal outfit, augmented with a very heavy cloak. He narrowed his eyes slightly. “Some say the fearsome nagas were annihilated by the chill.”

“Racial weakness, eh? No helping it, then. What say we get a fire going and warm our bones?”

Dwarf Shaman reached into his bag of catalysts for a flint, along with one or two large stones.

“Dancing flame, salamander’s fame. Grant us a share of the very same.”

No sooner had he intoned the words than the stones in his hand began to glow gently from within. The casting of Kindle consumed one of his spells—but none of them considered it a waste.

“The stones won’t burn, just warm up, so—yipes! Hot, hot! It’s a good compromise.”

“I’ve got some very bad memories of that spell,” High Elf Archer said, reflexively covering her leg. Dwarf Shaman snorted.

“If you don’t like it, I don’t have to give you one.”

Shortly thereafter, the rocks were nicely heated; Dwarf Shaman wrapped them in cloth with a practiced hand and placed them in the cage. Even High Elf Archer, who had looked none too pleased just a moment before, accepted a stone, blinking.

“Er, thanks. You’re pretty considerate, for a dwarf.”

“Th-thank you…!” Priestess said.

“…”

Each of the three had her own reaction. Dwarf Shaman simply thumped his belly with a ’Tis nothing!, causing High Elf Archer to sigh.

“You could stand to be a little more open about your feelings,” the dwarf said. “Still and all. Beard-cutter, got anything for us?”

“Hmm. I had intended to wait until we arrived at the castle, but…” He grabbed a handful of something in his item pouch and pulled it out easily. He tossed it into the cage, where Priestess caught it.
