Frozen Valley

Eman and his sister were heading back to the Old Mining Town, the Sunville Village. But their travel wasn't so steady because the road was covered with snow. Whether they like it or not, their carriage could not advance faster.

"Brother, it seems the snow today is much heavier than yesterday. And it seems to me it will continue till tomorrow," Eina said, sounding a little worried.

Eman nodded silently and asked. "You're right. Aside from that, do you feel cold?"

"J-Just a little. Not enough to make me quiver," she said while forcing a smile. 

Since she was wearing a thick fur coat, she didn't feel much cold. But that didn't mean she felt nothing regarding it. The smoke that was coming out of her mouth whenever she spoke was the evidence.

Eman showed a wry smile. "I see. Be sure to tell me when you feel uncomfortable, okay?" As he said that, he pulled down slightly the hem of the hood she was wearing to cover her head better.

"Yes, brother."
