Story:

Fye didn't like heights. The only nightmare he could ever remember was one where he was falling and falling and falling, endlessly. Once he woke from that nightmare when he and the ninja were sharing a room. Kurogane woke up to find Fye silhouetted against the window, but he never said anything about it. He only wondered why Fye kept flexing his fingers like they ached, like he had been clenching something for so long that he'd forgotten how to let go. He didn't mention it, and if the mage knew he was awake, he was ignoring him. Outside the snow was falling, as if mocking them both, hissing against the chilled pane of glass, the only sound in a silenced room.
