When she wasn't looking directly at Andromeda, she kept her in her peripheral vision, monitoring her movements and resisting the urge to intervene. It was probably half of the reason she burnt herself, noticing she'd made Andro jump brought a flush of embarrassment to her cheeks. 

The incident pricked her pride, so she kept her gaze focused on the floor in front of her as she watched Andro prop herself up. 

[b]", help me?"[/b] She stiffened at the request, finally turning her head to look directly at Andromeda. Her fingers curled into her palms as the gorgon started to shuffle herself into a better position. It wasn't in her nature to…surely she should leave Andro to…if she couldn't how would they make it…

As those questions reeled through her mind, Andro had started to push herself up. Half the battle was won by the time Rain slid an arm around her waist to help her with the last bit. Rain's brow was furrowed and she felt unnaturally tense against Andro. In this instant, every rational thought in her head, had told her not to help but a different instinct had taken presidency over them.  

[color=skyblue]"You can do this"[/color] Rain murmured, looking away so she couldn't catch her eye. [color=skyblue]"You have to"[/color]

[color=lightseagreen][i]'What am I doing…?'[/i][/color] She gave Andro a second to recover before she encouraged her to loop an arm around her neck, whether she did or didn't in the next instant her grip tightened around Andro's waist and she lifted her onto her feet. The experience might have been a little disconcerting, she didn't seem to put much effort into the action at all. 

[color=skyblue]"Because I'm not carrying you anymore…"[/color] Once she was sure Andro was steady enough, she loosened her grip on the gorgon, giving her the option to break away from her. 

[color=skyblue]"…unless you pay me"[/color] She finished, glancing at Andro as a smile lifted the corner of her mouth [color=skyblue]"It's pack rules, only the first one is free"[/color] 

She was trying to be funny, lighten the mood, keep the other woman thinking and focused. She started out of the cave either helping Andro or walking a few steps in front of her. Her purple eyes scanning the white landscape in front of them, flurries of snow still danced across the sky but it wasn't as bad as it had been earlier. 

Clenching her jaw, Rain shifted her shoulders as a chill ran down her spine and a knot of worry settled in her stomach. [color=lightseagreen][i]'Sirius, please get us through this…I don’t want to lose her'[/i][/color] The thought brought more of a chill to her body than the icy air around them.
 
[color=skyblue]"How are you doing?"[/color] She asked.
