Uhhhhh. (abby draws the sound out while she's thinking, giving her knuckles an absentminded crack,) Yeah, you– need to warm the skin, but slowly. Warm water is best, not hot.
Why.
(and then, with slight urgency,) Are you okay? What happened?
Granted he should maybe go turn the temperature down a little, but.]
Okay, but what about after that? How do you know when the skin is okay again?
[Okay, so there's no avoiding this and he knew there wouldn't be, going in. Just rip the band-aid off!!] It's Lev. Uh, his fingers. Got... frostbite. [Very descriptive. Very helpful.]
(she... doesn't really know. maybe her dad imparted this on her at some point, as he tried in vain to do for most of her life, but if he did, abby doesn't really remember anymore. she's just gonna make an educated guess.)
When– it's the right colour again? How bad is it?
(and then he says the l word and he might hear her clattering onto her feet with a soft swear.) Nico–
[Following that clatter there's a very guilty pause. Like someone who got caught with both hands in the cookie jar right before dinner.]
They're pink. [They started out red but they've been under warm water for a couple minutes already. A touch miserably:] We're in Lev's room. [His hotel room! Because I'm very late!]

(she takes a breath, holds it for a long moment. pink is good, pink is better than red, better that blue-black, he's– fine, he'll be fine.)
Okay. (her voice is steadier this time, while she's putting on her boots, grabbing her pack from beside the door.) Be there in five.
