“I-I’m good.” Yuhsia lied through CHATTERING TEETH as she hugged herself closer, curling up into the TIGHTEST, TINIEST BALL SHE COULD MANAGE. Was it spite or pride that kept her from accepting her old friend’s offer? Because she was damn sure gonna catch hypothermia right about now. Reunion had SWEPT ACROSS Lungmen; Damn near burning the place to the ground. All that remained was RUINS & RAIN. What had brought them back here? Old hope and bad memories? Not that it mattered now as they took shelter in Ch’en’s now-flooded estate. “I’ve had worse nights in the SEWERS, remember?” She was but a RAT after all; As Swire so INSISTED on reminding her. “Survived this long without you...” But maybe there was something MORE to it than that? Yuhsia couldn’t quite seem to place it... But maybe, much like being back in this house -- Or, at least, what was LEFT of it... -- Brought back memories of their youth... Perhaps, so, too, would being back in Ch’en’s bed bring back memories of Yuhsia’s decade-gone CRUSH? She’d never told her at the time. Just made her PROMISE to stay. A promise Ch’en had broken. And, with it, Yuhsia’s HEART. She’d made good on her own promise to never let ANYONE get that close EVER again. But... But old feelings still lingered. And... “It’s just a little wat-- ACHOO!!” Girl was gonna catch a cold. Or WORSE.
