❄ ❄ ❄As it turns out, a fire was far better than wolves. Throughout the night Marsh coaxed the flame back to life time and time again. While the wolves were prone to late night wrestling, the flame responded only to his touch. It was warm, comforting, and a little dreamy.
Marsh did his very best not to compare it too much to Yuki.
He must have slept because he woke to a cold, grey dawn. He set about helping Amelia pack up their things, turning over a little pot of silver paint in the process. "Would it be too much to ask for a portable heater?" He grumbled with a half-smile. The morning stretched, the cold so bitter he could barely think straight. One of them suggested they move on. And so they did.
The wolves seemed not to care at all about the biting wind and punishing conditions. They frolicked ahead, leading the trio beyond the familiarity of the Cornucopia. Marsh's steps slowed incrementally. Even with the layers of clothing, nothing could really blunt the wind's claws.
By the time they reached the edge of the Glass Lake, he was half numb. "Don't go too far!" he called after the wolves. Not that they'd listen.
His voice carried, far better in this part of the arena. He came to a very sudden halt. His stomach, which heretofore had been one of the few warm organs in his freezing torso, suddenly went cold as ice. He turned slowly to Amelia, already forming a half-ass apology for announcing their location, when he heard a snap of someone's boots on the solid ground.
Halfway twisted already, Marsh grabbed the vial of poison from his satchel, fumbled with clumsy fingers, spilling it as much on his walking stick as the pale ground. He trembled as he hefted the walking stick, bringing it down with a crack on the nearest tribute. "Stay back!"
