"So was I." He thinks nothing of being that honest, that vulnerable with Alistair. Who else knows him best? "There was a blighted dragon and me without a ballista."
Which had worked well enough a decade ago but not half so well now. It's an easy thing to think, plans to make for wherever they end up- thoughts that stutter to a stop abruptly at that particular mental image. Had he blood left in him he'd blush. But- fortunately, all he does is cough. "There are better things you could be doing while on your knees, Alistair."
Because innuendo is expected and easy and he can paint on the usual smile and lift his brows just so, even as he shuffles to the fire. So much snow. Why are they hiding in the mountains? Why did he decide to bury himself in an avalanche? "Why can't the world ever be ending where it is warm?"
