Ani/Obi/Ami Yea obi-Wan isn't a very happy camper at the moment I don't think. And don't worry SW gets me excited too!

"Obi-Wan?" Anakin called uncertainly. He squinted through the darkness and thought that he spotted something bobbing up and down in the water. "Obi-Wan?" Anakin called again. He crept carefully along the ice as not to break it. "Master!"

Obi-Wan had gone almost completely underwater in his unconsciousness. The floating position that he had placed himself in before passing out had saved him somewhat but not quite. Anakin was surprised that Obi-Wan hadn't chocked on the water yet.

Anakin used the Force to pull Obi-Wan closer to shore. He reached down, and taking the older man by the shoulders, dragged him out onto the ice. Somehow he managed to get his passed out friend to more stable ground before kneeling at his side.

Obi-Wan was pale, socking wet, passed out, shivering like crazy, and there was a large lump on the side of his head close to his temple. Anakin shook his head sadly. He wasn't sure what to do, though the first part seemed obvious, of course: find shelter. This was usually not a problem. Anakin was more concerned of what to do once he got there.

"Sheesh Obi-Wan," Anakin muttered as he lifted Obi-Wan into his arms and threw him over his shoulders., an affectionate smirk forming on his lips. :"Looks like I'm saving you again yea? So what is that eight now? Alright fine stay asleep if you want. Ether way lets get somewhere less…windy."

The cave that Anakin found was shallow and rather narrow but it was the best he could do for the moment. He was sure he might have been able to find something better further ahead but he was exhausted from carrying his still unconscious partner as it was.

"Come on, Obi-Wan," Anakin muttered. "This is a really bad time to go Floppy Fish on me." He laid Obi-Wan down gentlyon the cave floor that was unevenly coated with snow, and knelt by his side.

The young knight ran hand through his hair. A dull ach had started in the back of his head and he rubbed the base of his skull with nothing short of annoyance. Right now was really a bad time for this.

He let out a hushed huff and look uncertainly at Obi-Wan. How much could some cold water do? There was the banger of hypothermia but how long had Obi-Wan been in the water? However long Anakin had been passed out but hat certainly couldn't be too long.

But shit that water was cold as Sith!

Anakin reached out and touched Obi-Wan's hand tentatively. He flinched away at the feeling of cold skin touching his. So very cold. He brought his hand to his partner's temple and winced again at the coldness of the skin he felt. Too cold. Not good.

He pushed a strand of wet hair out of Obi-Wan's face, tucking the strand behind the Jedi's ear and…

Something sticky and strangely warm touched Anakin's hand and he pulled it away, glancing at his hand curiously. The red splotch he saw made him gape. Blood? He parted the copper strands to find a minor wound in a small but rather swollen area on the side of Obi-Wan's head. Anakin shook his head and reached for the small med pack that hung on his belt.

"How the kriff do you always manage to get yourself into so much trouble, Master?" Anakin wondered, more to himself then the uncurious form of his friend, as he applied the bacta patch.

Anakin ran a hand through his hair. He was getting worried that Obi-Wan wasn't coming around yet. It had been half an hour almost since he had pulled the Jedi out of the water. Surely he should have come around by now. Something was wrong…maybe the bow to the head? And reached out through the Force and probed Obi-Wan from the inside trying to figure out what was keeping his partner under for so long.

The head injury wasn't much. It would cause some headaches, he was sure, but nothing so serious. His explorations took him deeper, as deep as he could go without using healer techniques.

Obi-Wan's life energy seemed to be gathering itself in his torso and his arms and legs seemed to be loosing heat.

A sharp, cold, gust of wind that found its way into their meager shelter snapped Anakin out of his trance. He wrapped his cloak closer around him and felt the thermocape plaster itself closer to him, providing some very much needed warmth.

The young knight focused his attention back on his partner. No wonder Obi-Wan was cold. His own robe was gone and his tunics were socked through with the icy water. Obi-Wan's lack of shivering concerned Anakin. The older Jedi only experienced periodic shudders but not much more. The lack of shivering was being decreased by the minute.

When the person stops shivering their body has lost the ability to produce warmth.

Memories of his first aid classes, that had been drilled into him at a young age in his Junior Padawan years, floated back to him, forcing him to face the gravity of the situation.

That water really was cold and even much warmer water could cause hypothermia. Anakin shook his head. He needed to get the wet clothes off of Obi-Wan, at least the tunics. But what then? He needed something warm to bundle him in. But what?

"All these layers really do make me look fat."

Obi-Wan grinned. "Really, Anakin, you sound like one of those commercial ladies on the holovision commercials. Maybe you should buy yourself the Coruscant Fitness Center exercise set. Only thirty credits and you loose ten pounds in the blink of an eye!"

Anakin threw his friend a dirty look. "Very funny, Obi-Wan."

"You really aren't looking forward to this are you?"

Anakin snorted. "Bitterly cold whether. Just what I need. Heh don't you think there's a reason why I'm wearing a thermocape under my cloak?"

Anakin unconsciously clutched at his thermocape. It's warmth had been dear to him. He really needed that extra layer….

…But Obi-Wan needed it more.

He set to cutting away Obi-Wan's soaked tunic, careful not to jar him too much. He then slipped off his thermocare, shivering as a gust of cold wind hit him as he was now one extra insolated layer short, and bundled Obi-Wan into it's warmth.

He then settled against the cave wall and pulled Obi-Wan into his arms, cradling him against his chest. "You better wake up soon, Obi," Anakin murmured into his ear, using the familiar. "We need to find a way outta this, you hear?" he ran a hand though the wet hair of the Jedi in his arms and sighed, tilting his head back to lean it against the cavern wall.

This was going to be one long night.
