"three..... four.... five..." the words left her mouth with another cloud. her hands went and rubbed at her arms some in an attempt to warm up. her blue eyes formed into a squint as she looked into the distance. her eyebrows furrowed in confusion. did she see... buildings? maybe it was one of those things that happened in the desert and you started seeing water. what was that called again? bella couldn't remember and she was too tired to try and think about it.

"six......" the only number that really mattered to isabella in her countdown. the brunette started for the buildings (if they were even there). her head dipped to shield it from the cold wind blowing at it. her fingers were trembling and her teeth began to chatter. "....seven...." she finished as she neared the buildings. to her surprise, she didn't vanished. they were actually there. "hello?" she called out, unsure of what to do as she stopped walking and looked around.

“ THE MOST TENDER PLACE IN MY HEART ”
evan — she,her — flintlock lodge — — [url=http://]tags

evan has thought there same when she had arrived. it was cold and snowy and not safe. why would anyone be up here? and yet there was a lodge full of people. it was odd. it was necessary. if they weren't out here, anybody who found themselves on the mountain would surely die.

evan was out for a walk. she had to have some time by herself and although having her own room was rather grand, and allowed her to be alone, sometimes going for a walk in the snow was what was needed. she hadn't gone very far, in fact she had just left and was walking down the path, excited to explore.

until she spotted the girl.

perhaps she shouldn't say girl, the woman seemed to be her age. trudging through the snow, she strained her ears to try and hear what bella was muttering about. she was counting? that didn't matter now. "oh my god, are you okay? oh jeez, we have to get you inside holy shit," evan wasn't exactly sure what to do but she would hurriedly approach the girl arms waving as she spoke, her not being exactly sure what to do with them.

[align=center][div style="background=transparent; bordercolor=transparent; text-align: justify; line-height: 130%; width: 470px; font-family: arial;  color:black"]isabella's eyes shut as she stood there. the motion of her trying to warm up slowed down to a halt and for a minute she was motionless. did she have a reason for this? she didn't know. her mind drifted off to jamie. he was born a little bit before her, but she was his big sister. she always had been. she helped him keep things going forward and he helped her stay down on earth. he was the one person who has truly known her for who she was. they got split up at the bottom of the mountains a little bit back. she hoped he found shelter. she hoped he was okay. she hoped he was alive.

she finally came back to reality when she heard a voice. she had never been so grateful to hear someone's voice before. normally she was anxious all of the time and didn't like meeting new people - it made her uncomfortable. but oh man, was she happy for this. her blue eyes opened and her eyes fixated onto a girl around her age who was flailing her arms around as she made her way over. her hands went back to rubbing against her arms and she adjusted her posture some. "oh.. i'm just really cold. i've been walking around up here for awhile.." isabella's voice was soft and unsure (like normal). "my name's isabella." she proceeded to say. she forced up a kind smile to evan before chewing on her cheek a little bit which was a nervous habit she had picked up on from a young age.

"going inside would be.. nice."

[Wolfsbane]

[align=center][div style="width:500px;text-align:justify;line-height:15px;"]Heading North during the winter was an idea associated with severity; on one hand, the cold prevented attackers from easily targeting the Lodge, but on the other hand, if something were to impair their shelter, the Lodgers surely would struggle to survive. Wolf had decided to take his chances on the first line of thought. Safety had become his utmost priority upon befriending Evan- now that he had some form of family again, he couldn't risk losing it all over again. He didn't know if he could take that.

Bane first saw Isabella approaching the Lodge from a distance, a grey figure struggling to make it up the incline with the steep snow. He had instinctively gone for his gun, positioning it in his hands as a precaution as he warily watched the stranger, making his way towards her. Before the man got close enough, Evan appeared, appearing to take to the other, and Bane overheard their exchanged words as he got closer. "I take it you're interested in joining, then?" He asked, coming to a stop beside Evan, who he greeted with a nod of his head.

There was always a moments hesitation- the moment of trust, and of evaluation. It was never a certainty, always a calculated risk. Would they prove to be a danger? What were their true intentions? But right now, with the snow falling and the wind whistling, Bane felt most inclined to join them inside. They needed members, and she did not seem to be an immediate risk. He briefly looked her over, eyes trained to search out any visible weapons or perhaps injuries that suggested a problematic form of baggage, but he found little.

"C'mon, the Lodge is just behind us. We'll get you inside, maybe a cup of stew?" He seemed to have made his decision, though the gun was still cradled in his hands. "We can show you inside." He tipped his head in the direction and took a few steps as he began to try to lead her back to the Lodge with Evan.

[HAYLEY]

[align=center][div style="width: 70%; text-align: justify; line-height: 13px;"]
fending for herself for the better part of twenty years, hayley picked up little things that... while unusual, came in handy in a pinch. among plants and life hacks, was the usefulness of rice. it was remarkably durable, with a normally indefinite shelf life. granted, after twenty years, some had gotten water damage and been ruined, and much consumed, but every now and again the brunette could run into a good stock of it. she'd arrived with a bag, and half of the bag was full of small bags of uncooked rice. it made a damn good meal in a pinch, and more relevant in this terrain, a damn good heat pack. leave a few beside the fire for a bit, stuff them in your pockets, and your hands could stay nice and warm; though uncomfortable, it worked great for boots as well.

hayley had gone out for a walk of her own, gloved hands holding a book as she walked and read, though evan's shout distracted her from her reading. it was a book all about the horrors of childbirth, though she'd put the book jacket of a book called twilight over it to conceal the reading. her pregnancy wasn't a secret, especially considering she was well over a third of her way through, but she didn't need it to be the primary focus when others thought of her. she wanted to be seen as hayley, not the pregnant woman.

snapping the book closed and running towards the scene, her eyes ran over isabella for a moment before reaching into her pockets and pulling out the heating packs. two of them, small squares with five inch long sides, a pillow case-like fabric was sewn tightly to hold the rice safely within, and she held them out as an offering to the clearly freezing girl. "hold these, they'll warm your hands," she said, stuffing the book in the large pocket that ran along the side of her coat, "can you walk?" four months pregnant or not, hayley... well, hayley was no little bitch. she stood eight inches taller than this girl, and despite a thin frame, she could lift a good amount. she had no doubt carrying the woman would be possible, if she needed it. clothes always made it difficult to determine someone's condition, and if help was needed, help would be given.

[Shiloh !]

"Wow..! You should not be our in the cold." She looked the girl up and down. "I have a thermos of hot coccoa if youd like it? It's got mini marshmallows and everything."
