Swan entered the carriage specifically prepared to keep her warm, followed by Gale, who wanted to accompany her as usual. She was covered from head to toe as the temperature dropped even further when it started getting dark.
She glanced at Gale, who was only wearing pants and wasn't bothered by the cold at all, and asked, "A-are you sure you don't need to wear something warm? I don't want you to get sick while in the cave later."
Gale chuckled, "My body is naturally immune to cold. I'm more worried about you. Since we haven't even headed to the southwest, and you're already shaking."
"I-I'm fine. J-just go now before it's getting too dark," Swan said as she tried to muffle her chattering teeth.
Gale sighed. He was still torn between forcing Swan to stay in the castle or begging her to accompany him in the cave. His logic told him to let her stay, but his heart told him to bring her with him.
