boo: Okay, obviously the Thursday update schedule isn't going to work with my class schedule. So I'm going to switch it to Sunday.

Disclaimer: Yeah, that'll probably work better. You're pretty busy the rest of the week.

boo: But I'm learning a lot. There's that anyway.

Cold

Anna shivered in her wet clothes, trying to get nearer to the fire. They had been forced to take a large detour around Luin. Fortunately Kratos had spotted the Desians before the Desians had spotted them. A short while later it had started to rain, the freezing kind of rain that hinted winter was on it's way. They had managed to find a cave, but not before getting soaked.

A blanket suddenly settled itself around her shoulders. She looked up startled to see Kratos standing beside her, looking out at the rain. She clutched the blanket to her, feeling guilty. It had been two weeks since he had rescued her, and she still hadn't managed to say a word to him, to thank him for saving her. What had happened wasn't his fault after all.

"...I'm Anna." She finally managed to squeak out five minutes later, while he was stirring stew in the small camp pot.

He looked up startled, and smiled briefly before going back to stirring the food.


boo: Please review! The more reviews I get, the more likely I'll actually remember to update on time! Also, if I get ten reviews on this chapter I'll update early!
