Lina dragged her feet through the snow. Fat puffs of snowflakes came down on this red-haired sorceress and cold winter winds occasionally blew across her way.
Her teeth chattered, her eyes drooping from sleepy fatigue. A town was close by...hopefully. She forced herself to walk on, shutting her eyes tightly every time a wind passed by.
She sneezed.
"You'll catch a cold, Lina-san!" Xelloss's voice startled Lina. She turned her head and saw Xelloss floating next to her. "Being ill is an unpleasant thing for humans, isn't it?"
"W-w-w-what do y-you w-want?" Lina asked, a bit hard to understand.
"Just seeing how you're doing in this fine weather!" Xelloss breathed in the bitter cold air as if it was a summer breeze. "Such a nice day, don't you agree?"
Xelloss saw Lina glaring daggers at him. Damn Mazoku, she thought. She then continued to trudge along the snowy path. Xelloss floated behind her.
"If you're so cold, why don't you use magic and make all this snow melt away? Fire magic is specifically your best element, ne?" Xelloss asked.
"Damn snow...t-too much snow...too c-c-c-cold...hard to do m-m-magic..." Lina stammered, her teeth chattering too hard.
"Ah, I see." Xelloss smiled, seeing Lina's arms wrapped around herself.
"By the way, Lina-san, what would you say if I were to tell you that a horde of trolls, led by a high-class demon, were after you?" Xelloss asked.
Lina stopped and turned around to face him.
Xelloss smiled cheerfully. Then Lina grabbed him by his shirt near the neck, making him bend down a bit. She glared dangerously, yet Xelloss noticed that her eyes were glazed over with exhaustion. But still, she had an amazingly strong grip for her petite figure.
"L-look, X-Xelloss, I'm n-not in t-the m-m-mood t-to k-kill y-y-you," Lina growled angrily, trying to control her chattering teeth. "s-so don't t-t-tempt m-me!"
"Oh, Lina-san, you should really be happier! It's such nice weather!" Xelloss said cheerfully.
"If I d-don't d-d-die f-from hypothermia, I-I am g-going to k-kill Y-YOU!" Lina growled as a cold wind blew by.
Lina shut her eyes tight as the wind pressed against her back. She hid her face against Xelloss's chest. Xelloss blinked upon seeing the fiery sorceress's reaction...what was that fluttering feeling in his chest?
When the wind stopped blowing, Xelloss noticed that Lina was not moving away...
"Eh..Lina-san?" Xelloss looked at her still form.
Suddenly Lina's grip was let loose and the red-haired sorceress fell to the ground at the mazoku's feet. She lay in the 2 feet deep snow, unconscious.
"... ..." Xelloss blinked a few times.
Lina had collasped.
Not good...
Xelloss poked Lina with the end of his staff a few times, waiting to see if she would fireball him. She was still...he poked her once more.
Silence.
"Oh, my...I suppose the weather was REALLY too much for her," Xelloss remarked to himself and picked her up in his arms. Her face and hair were specked with snow. Her unconscious face was pale.
"I suppose I shouldn't treat EVERYTHING as a joke." Xelloss teleported to the closest town but...
...he found himself in Zellas's castle in Wolf Pact Island.
'Uh oh...' Xelloss thought.
"XELLOSS!!!" Zellas's thundering angry voice made Xelloss slightly bow his head down like a child.
"Eh---something the matter, Juu-ou?" Xellos asked his blond-haired Master.
Zellas pointed to the unconscious Lina in his arms, demanding an explaination.
"Well, she couldn't stand such cold weather and well...she fainted and I thought I'd just bring her to the closest town and---" Xelloss explained.
"Damn right you take her to the next town! AND take care of her, too!!!" Zellas commanded.
"T-take care of her?!" Xelloss sputtered as his eyes opened in surprised.
"Lina Inverse is Luna Inverse's little sister!! The Knight of Ceifeed is my ally and if she sees her little sister ill because of YOU..."Zellas growled.
"Understood..." Xelloss nodded with a frown. Xelloss didn't want to cause conflict...yet... "But I don't know anything about humans' illnesses!" he protested this realization.
"THEN LEARN!!!" Zellas threw a book in Xelloss's face just before he teleported away.
