[ she may or may not have dozed off, a little, too cold and immobile for too long to gather and retain enough warmth in her body. she'd heard the barks, but hadn't really processed them, but there's no real ignoring the cold, wet nose nudging her cheek.
she stirs, albeit slowly, blinking groggily at the excitable dog. then its owner. ]
[ weiss, please. yamamoto recognizes her as that girl whose charm he saved back at the ball, crouching next to her and shedding one of his jackets to give to her. ]
No worries, your secret's safe with us.
[ meanwhile, jirou takes the opportunity to nudge himself against her side, licking her face. hey, he's warm at least. ]
[ the fact he's so calm and amiable about it all just rubs weiss the wrong way even more, tbh, but at this point there's likely no winning with her.
she makes a low noise of distress when jirou starts licking her face, apparently displeased about it, and yet her hands come around to bury themselves in the dog's soft, warm fur anyway. talk about mixed signals! ]
[ jirou, on the other hand, gives a happy sounding sort of bark/snort combo and curls closer to her. yamamoto smile turns sheepish at her response, but is otherwise undeterred. ]
Right. My bad, haha. [ tries again... ] If you don't mind, I can give you a lift. [ he reaches over to jirou and takes out the three sword hilts attached to his harness. ] Better to find some shelter before the sleigh comes around again, yeah?

If I could, I would have already, obviously.
sorry this is late!

np! same here
What kind of "lift?"
[ really, though, weiss is in no position to be picky about her rescues... and yet. ]
