I groggily opened my eyes at the feel of someone nudging me.
"Hey, wake up."
It was Maki.
"You can stop now, I'm awake."
She gave me a once-over before nodding in satisfaction.
"Good."
I was busy resisting the urge to roll my eyes when Lily asked.
"Are you feeling better?"
I took a moment to reassess the state of my body. The nausea had dropped to very manageable levels, my skin no longer felt like it was burning under the layers of clothing, and I didn't feel like puking my guts out.
"Yeah, I'm good."
I still felt terribly cold though, so my eyes naturally drifted to the fireside.
'It's out. Like I expected.'
Another thing I'd also rightly expected was the continuity of the blizzard. The constant rattling and the long, hungry howl of the wind were enough to tell me all I needed to know.
Luckily, I'd been asleep when the fire went out.
