disclaimers in the beginning
-----------------------------
You padded over to the window and stared outside at the whirling snow.  
You'd just been out in that mess a little over an hour ago, and remembered 
all too well how sharply the wind bit at the tiny space between your collar 
and scarf.

The wind picked up, and you could almost feel its howling deep in your soul. 
  You shivered involuntarily and Kenobi glanced over at you momentarily 
before heading back to the sofa.  You stood at the window for a few moments 
longer, watching the trees sway with the combination of high winds and heavy 
snows.  The lights flickered, and went out, leaving the both of you with no 
light, and more importantly, no heat.

"Blast!  I wonder if this floo is blocked up.."  You run over to the large, 
archaic fireplace that dominated the small living room and cleared out 
debris.

"Kenobi, I need some firewood.  There's a small pile sitting in the storage 
room.  Tomorrow, we're going to have to see if we can clear out enough snow 
under the window to get outside.  Of course, if we can do that, I think we 
can leave..."  You often rambled when you were nervous or scared, and 
promptly shut yourself up.  You didn't need Kenobi going all protective on 
you..you were perfectly capable of handling this situation.

Kenobi came back into the room, a small stack of firewood in his hands.  He 
bent down at the fireplace and worked on starting a fire, making little 
sound save the muttered curses when he couldn't get the fire to start.  
Finally, he called his lightsaber over via the Force and touched the tip of 
the blue laser to the kindling, promptly setting it on fire.

"That's one way to do it."  You stretched, getting ready to hop into bed 
with a good book when you realized one very important fact: there was no 
heat in this cabin save next to the fireplace.

"I wouldn't do that if I were you.  We're bedding down in here."  You gave 
the stoic Jedi a pointed look and he crossed his arms across his chest, 
tucking his hands into his sleeves.

"I know.  I just now thought about it."  You grinned then, knowing that this 
line of conversation was embarassing the probably-celibate Jedi to no end.  
Oh, now THIS was payback.


"You know, the best way to conserve body heat is to strip down and cuddle 
with someone..care to join me?"  You made a grand production of stripping 
off your outermost sweater, watching as the Jedi's face goes from red to a 
most-interesting shade of purple.

"Umm..er..yes, actually.  I did know that.  However, I thought that only 
applied when the clothing was wet."  Kenobi stared at his feet as if they 
contained the secrets of the universe and you smiled.  Poor, celibate little 
Jedi.  Boy was HE in for a surprise.

"You're not embarrassing me, you know."  You felt your jaw drop to the 
floor.  Sithspit.  The little bastard just read your mind.
