De-Ji shivered, refusing to admit it was cold. Zoro watched her, but didn't know what to do. It was cold, but Luffy and Suta had taken all of the blankets. Besides, if she said it wasn't cold, then she must not want anything. He shrugged, and tried to sleep. De-Ji's teeth were chattering, and the noise was keeping Zoro awake. He glared at De-Ji, then his face straightened when he saw her. She was sitting in the corner, rolled up into the fetal position, and rubbing her arms to try and keep them warm. She saw Zoro watching her, then pushed out her legs, and made her arms stop moving. She faked a smile at Zoro, and tried to not shiver. Zoro shook his head, then climbed down the mast. He had to find a coat or blanket somewhere.
De-Ji transformed into a hawk as soon as Zoro left. Her feathers were warm. She kept listening for Zoro's footsteps, in case he came back. She didn't want to look weak in front of him, or anybody for that matter. Her feet were cold, so she wrapped her wings around her body and stuck her head into the little fort, but kept an ear out so she could keep listening.
Zoro wandered around for a little bit, unsuccessfully finding anything warm. He finally got fed up, and stalked over to Luffy and Suta. They were in a fort of blankets and chairs in the kitchen. They had at least 2 extra blankets that they didn't need. Zoro took one off the top of the fort, and Luffy and Suta didn't even notice. He chuckled, then left, hurrying to get to De-Ji before she froze to death. Then he started climbing up the mast.
De-Ji heard him coming, and changed back really quick and straightened her body out so it wouldn't look like she was cold, then pretended to not be aware that he was coming.
Zoro opened the door and walked inside. De-Ji was sitting, but she had been looking at the door. 'she heard me coming' he thought to himself. Then he saw a feather near De-Ji. The ceiling prevented birds from coming in, so it must have come from her. He chuckled in his head, knowing that she was cold. Taking the blanket off of his shoulders, he tied it there when he was climbing up the mast, he carefully placed it on top of De-Ji. He watched her carefully, still a little unsure of what to do. De-Ji smiled for a second, then looked up at him and straightened her face.
"I didn't need this, you know." She said to him. 'so stubborn...' he thought to himself. He stood there a little longer, then decided. He sat down, and scooched over under the blanket with De-Ji. It was a little warm under it, but not enough. De-Ji was warm, and he had to admit, it was cold. Soon it warmed up to a toasty temperature under the blanket, and Zoro was a little tired, so he took a light snooze.
De-Ji watched Zoro as he slept. She smiled at him, and chuckled a little. Even he was cold, it seemed.
"thanks." She whispered softly to Zoro. She ruffled his hair a little, then kissed his temple. She was so glad he was asleep. She snuggled closer to him, enjoying the warmth, and fell asleep on his shoulder.
