    ... hoped, would help when she awoke. # “Eat.” Alouette blinked swimming vision at the childish handwriting, scrawled in charcoal on the floor. The hovel around her strobed yellow from an enormous fire. Her head throbbed, her mouth papery. She passed out again. Time passed in a flicker, and suddenly a lump of granite, an oddly familiar one, was poised above her. Her lips felt a cup of warm water nudged cautiously to them, the liquid filled her with a swell of wellbeing, immediately trickling from her eyes. The granite smiled. Blackness. A cold draught stirred her, and she lifted her head to a slamming door. Outside there was the sound of chopping. An enormous pot of water bubbled. Then he appeared, a block of a man with an armload of timbers. He looked chipped from the mountain itself, dark hair and eyes, and a weathered beauty to him. Half way to diamond. “Rock,” she croaked. He jumped, dropped his pile and ran over to her, scooping up a cup of water on the way. “What was that, Little Bird?” he whispered, gravelly, as she drank. He dabbed her mouth with his sleeve.

No. Her palm felt too hot against his lips, and her cheeks were too crimson. This was a fever. It had to pass. Or not. Her life was in the balance. The grimmest of ironies, fever from cold. “Little Bird–” he said before her hot lips silenced his, and her arms coiled around his neck. Bewitched, he couldn’t help himself against that kiss, and had to respond but she was so soft it was like trying to kiss the sunrise.
