Teeth chattering, body shivering, Ahsoka pushed herself up out of the uncomfortable sleeping position she had been in. Well, she'd managed to get a little bit of sleep; maybe a few hours. It was better than nothing, though. She'd had sleepless nights before, and they weren't pretty, and it usually led to grumpiness later on.

Lux was still sleeping, leaning against a crate.

Had she been sleepwalking? Ahsoka didn't remember falling asleep there…

She wished she was sleeping right now, but she was so frakking cold. She was jealous…Lux had a coat, a nice, warm shirt, gloves that covered his whole hands… All she had was a thin, tight outfit that had half her skin showing. And he had the blanket! The lucky bastard.

Her feet were in the most pain…her toes felt like they had ice cubes wedged between them; they kriffing hurt.

"Master…" She said through the Force, "Please help me…"

There was no answer. Why could she not contact Anakin? They had a strong bond, how could it not work? Maybe they were too far away from eachother?

Her stomach growled loudly. Shut up, the Padawan scolded herself. Seriously, how could a stomach make so much noise?

"Hungry?"

Ahsoka's head shot up, meeting Lux's tired, green eyes. She laughed sheepishly, and clutched her aching belly with her bound hands. "Yeah, I'm starving. What about you?"

"Yeah." He answered holding his stomach, which appeared to be growling, thought more quiet than Ahsoka's.

"When did you wake up?" Ahsoka asked, pulling up her legs and resting her chin on her knees. Wrapping her thin arms around her legs, she let out a shaky breathe. She really didn't like the cold. She hated how it made your bones feel like they were made of ice, how it would send shivers down her whole body. And the chattering teeth just made it more irritating.

Lux shrugged his shoulders, "Few minutes maybe?" Ahsoka suspected her either woke from hunger pains, or the cold. Probably both.

A draft blew in; causing both of the teenagers to shudder violently. They gritted their teeth and clutched onto their legs tighter.

Lux stood and draped the blanket over Ahsoka's shaking shoulders and sat down next to her, shoulder to shoulder. It made Ahsoka feel slightly awkward; it was wasn't very often she got this close to a boy; not including Anakin or the clones, of course.

He mimicked her sitting position, pulling his legs up to his chest and coiling his arms around them. Ahsoka noticed a lot of differences between their arms; his were larger, muscular. Hers were thin, but had some muscle from the years of training. Her eyes ran down to his hands, which were clenched into fists. Hers were, too. It was a way to help forget the cold that seemed to be eating them alive.

"Here," Ahsoka leaned towards him a little, taking one on his fists in her hand. "This should help a little. Not much, but it's better than losing your fingers." She rubbed her hands against his palm and the back of his hand. He's hands were surprisingly soft; softer than they looked.

Her hands were rough; soft in some places, but calloused from the years of lightsaber training.

Lux hissed slightly in pain as the blood started flowing in his hands again. Ahsoka didn't stop though; it was meant to hurt. After she was done, Lux pulled his hand back and flexed his fingers. His hand didn't really feel that cold anymore.

Ahsoka shifted to sit in front of him. She took his other hand and rubbed it like she had before. "Better now?" Ahsoka asked, looking up to see him face.

Lux smiled and nodded, "Now let me do yours."

Before Ahsoka could say anything, Lux had her hand in his larger ones, and was rubbing warmth into them. First she felt the pain in her fingers, and soon it spread out into her whole hand. When he'd finished on the second hand, his fingers brushed against her wrist, sending ghostly shivers up her arm. "Are you okay?" Lux asked, his eyes meeting hers.

Ahsoka stared into his green eyes, and then said, "Yeah, fine. Just cold." She smiled; it was blatantly obvious she was cold.

"Yeah, me too…" Slowly, ever so slowly, they were leaning in. Eyes closed, moving closer. It was like the whole Universe had stopped, and that it was only to two of them; nobody else.

Before anything happened, Ahsoka suddenly pulled away, headtails flushed. Lux was blushing too, averting his eyes from hers.

"Thanks…for warming my hands…" Lux spoke first, still looking away from the Togruta.

"Thanks for doing mine too…" Ahsoka bit her lip. "So, do you think we'll get any food today? Because I'm really hungry."

"I hope so." Was all Lux could say.

Ahsoka huffed.

"What's wrong?" Lux said. Pfft, daft question.

"We need to get these cuffs off…and I've just had an idea…"

… … … … … … … … .

The leaves rustled in the icy wind as the snow fell gently, settling in Lux's messy hair. It was nearly midnight. The moonlight streamed down, shining on Lux between the gaps of the branches in the trees. It was so peaceful out here. The only thing that ruined the beautiful atmosphere was the droid parts that lay limp and cold on the ground, the scorch marks left from blaster shots.

Lux let out a quiet breath, frowning at the fog that appeared in front of his face when he exhaled.

The Mandalorians who were supposed to be guarded their tent had fallen asleep; tucked under thick, luscious blankets and their helmets resting at their sides.

Ahsoka had sent him to go and look for a knife or a hammer, anything that'd break the cuffs or cut the wires. She had gone to search for a weapon of some sort.

Lux stiffened and held his breath when he heard the sound of a twig snapping. It was so quiet; the only noises that could be heard were the rustling leaves and the sound of his slightly ragged breathing.

A tent – the one where Ahsoka had found the hammer before – came into Lux's view as he tiptoed along the snow, trying to be as quiet as possible. He slowly pulled the flap back, peering inside cautiously. Inside were two sleeping Mandalorians, mouth's wide and snoring. His eyes searched around the room, looking for something that could be of use.

There. The sleeping Mando was clutching a knife closer to his armoured chest, mumbling sleepily ever few seconds. He was dreaming.

When Lux stepped closer, the man rolled over onto his back, startling Lux and making him freeze in place. His knife arm fell to the side, his forearm resting on the floor, close to an animal skin rug.

Lux held his breathe and crouched down beside him. His whole body felt stiff and rigid, except from the thumping of his heart.

Slowly, ever so slowly, Lux stretched out his hands, doing his best to balance on the balls of his feet. He pinched the tip of the blade with his thumb and index finger, gently pulling the knife out of the man's hand. Luckily, it just slipped straight out without much trouble.

Lux gently smiled to himself. That wasn't so hard now, was it?

He sneaked out into the open again, and his breath was taken away by the sudden cold air. He saw Ahsoka running toward him, two silver objects clutched in her hands. She held them up and grinned broadly.

"Okay, now what?" Lux whispered, brushing of a snowflake that had landed on his cheek.

"Well, I'm in the middle of making a plan…" She replied in the same hushed tone Lux used.

"Don't tell me it's one of those plans…"

Ahsoka ignored him, "Well, now that I've got these," Ahsoka held up the lightsabers and smiled again, the tips of her canine teeth showing, "we can make a real plan."

"I thought you said you had a plan!"

"I do! I'll tell you in the tent! I'm not gonna tell you out here am I? It's freezing out here and anyone could hear us! Come on," Ahsoka said as she started to walk back to their tent. She climbed in and sat on a small crate and watched Lux sit on a similar one. "Right then, here's the plan…"

… … … … … … …
