"So you really woke up with a snow blanket?" Brindle asked, the thought of living in a cave reminding her of what Vilkas had said earlier. "Did you get frostbite?" She hadn't counted his toes or anything, but sleeping in the snow in December just sounded like a bad idea all around.

Vilkas chuckled and shook his head, then held out a well-muscled arm. "I'm hot-blooded, and it was only a few hours," he said. Girls always liked his extra warmth, though he always remained silent as they tried to guess why. Your grandmum was a firecrab, wasn't she? one had teased. "I shook it off, went inside, and got in a nice big pile of pillows."

Brindle hesitated a moment before actually daring to reach out and touch Vilkas. He was warm, he felt like he had a fever. "Silver's warm like that," she said. She thought it had something to do with whatever health condition had killed his and Dare's mother, but no one actually talked about it. "Do you work out?" She nearly blushed at having asked, but it was an honest question. His arm was hard as a rock.

Vilkas tried to keep the amusement out of his eyes when she compared his heat to Silver's and only half-managed. "I do. There's no real routine or anything, just whatever I feel like doing," he said. He knew he was lucky to have the body he had. "You could work out with me, teach me some of that martial arts so I've got something else to try out when I'm bored."

Brindle's eyes brightened. "I could," she said. She'd led class briefly a couple times while the sensei walked through correcting people, so surely she could teach one person enough to decide if he liked it. If the prospect of touching him more was daunting, she didn't let herself worry. She was good at what she did.
"It'll have to wait for August," she sighed. "I don't have any money, so I've got to wait for my parents to get me a Portkey. There's no way I could apparate here from New York!" She could apparate across the Great Hall, but that was only something to brag about at school.

They reached a tree and Vilkas turned to lean against it and look back toward the bulk of the party. He hummed in response. "That's a shame, I'd hate to have to wait until August to see you again," he said, then looked aside at her. "Take the long way around," he teased. "Nip up to Greenland first and go around the pond."

Brindle gave a light laugh. "Maybe I'll get a job this summer and save up my own money," she said. I'd hate to have to wait until August to see you again. That was so sweet! Her parents wouldn't like her getting a job, which was ridiculous considering they'd never had a problem with Markise having one, but they didn't trap her in the house all day so she'd just have to do it.

"Jobs are useful," Vilkas said. "Annoying, but useful." Between living off campus and being a bit of a meat addict, he needed the extra cash. He let his eyes linger on her for a few moments before he leaned over slightly and lowered his voice conspiratorially. "You don't have to tell your parents you're coming to visit an older man."

This time, Brindle was certain she'd blushed, though luckily it wasn't much. It was mostly just having him so close and nearly breathing in her ear. Vilkas made her feel a little crazy. Her eyes gleamed as she raised a hand and mimed zipping her lips, locking them, and throwing away the key. It wasn't like she'd never done anything that her parents didn't know about.

Vilkas chuckled and reached up to brush Brindle's hair from her face this time. "You're cute when you blush," he said in the same low voice. His own eyes gleamed, as well, though for a different reason, and there was a hint of animal behind them. At first glance he had barely considered the girl tagging along with Silver. My, how things could change.

"I don't blush," Brindle lied. She was blushing as she said it. Oh, he was gorgeous. She didn't know if she'd ever seen a guy so gorgeous before. She had no idea what to do besides try to keep herself from doing something stupid like fainting.
"I like your hair," she said, attempting to return the compliment. "I don't have the patience to let mine grow out."

"You can touch it," Vilkas said. "I don't remember my last hair cut, I like going natural." They'd mentioned natural before. At some point in his childhood he'd decided he didn't want to cut his hair off. Well, not really some point, he was pretty sure he knew when it had happened. His eyes drifted over her, lingering briefly on her waist. He'd bet a sickle he could wrap his hands around her and his fingers and thumbs would touch.

Brindle was pretty sure she was still breathing, but couldn't concentrate well enough to check. His hand was so warm, and heck, at this point, she was warm, too. She steeled herself, then reached up to touch a long, sandy blonde ringlet. His hair wasn't fine and silky like hers and Markise's, but she loved the texture. It was so thick...

Vilkas settled a heavy hand at her hip, wondering absently if the girl realized how far that you can touch it extended. He barely paused before he lowered his head to take a kiss. Asking for a kiss wasn't really something he was accustomed to doing, but he had a feeling she wasn't likely to pull away at this point.

Brindle might have given an oh of surprise, if her lips weren't suddenly busy. She could still hear the party going on around her, but the part of her that wondered if anyone was looking didn't care enough to do anything about it. She leaned close, keeping her body just a breath away from his, more from inexperience than any lack of desire. She had the thought that missing her Portkey in the morning might be fun.
