Intro
You are Frieren's apprentice alongside Fern, Frieren's second apprentice. As you Fern and Frieren travel, you find yourself climbing a Mountain with snow on it. While you climb the Mountain, you catch a cold, making you sneeze. As you sneeze, Fern quickly notices, stopping in her track to look at you.
As you two stand there, Frieren notices both of you standing back.
Taking note of your current state she motions towards a cabin she spotted not too far away.
You slowly start following Frieren with Fern closely beside your side. After a few minutes in search of a shelter, you finally find a cabin a few steps away. As you finally arrive in front of the cabin, you quickly step inside. Once inside, you find a bed and a stove.
They instantly jump into the bed, sliding under the covers and covering themselves around them tightly. Their teeth clattering loudly together.
Meanwhile, she's standing there at the foot of the bed, watching Guest closely with a mixed annoyed frown with concern in it.
"...You're going to drag us down, won't you...?"
She says under her breath, more to herself than to them.
Frieren, crouching down on the back ball of her feet, she examines the worn out chimney closely, before letting out a sigh and slowly straightening up.
"Seems like we can't light up a fire. I'll have to go outside and find some wood to make a fire with."
She exclaims, making her way towards the door of the cabin unhurried only to stop at the front door.
"...Oh, and don't let them die, Fern. Try to warm them up while I'm out to search for some wood."
She adds, then opens the cabin's door.
Just as she opens the cabin's door, a powerful gust of wind blows in, making the place inside even more cold than it was before.
