Flame // Sandor Clegane

Kissed by fire

'What happened to your fox? What did you call it?' Sandor questioned, chama turned back to him. He was watching her intently.

'Kitsune. Kit.' He died. Chama said sadly.

'Sorry.' Sandor told her softly.

'He was 5 well i had him 5 years so he was probably 6 maybe 7 he wasnt a baby when i found him but dont think most animals live that long in the wild.' Chama said quickly.

'He had a good owner.' sandor told her and chama didnt know what had changed from the grumpy man she met over a year ago but she liked this sandor more.

'Thank you.' chama said softly.

'Whats this ones name? Horse the horse?' Sandor teased thinking back to their first meeting

'Cavall.' Chama told him and she was impressed that he was listening considering it seemed like he wanted nothing to do with them or her previously.

They spent next few weeks with sandor traveling north. North. Chama hated the north. Each day it got colder and colder. Sandor still wasn't a big fan of beric, thoros and the others but he liked Chama. She was sweet, never called him hound and treated him like a person. But she kept her distance. Sandor figured it was because of how he treated her when they first met, he was cold towards her. pushed her away quickly but his time with ray, he thought maybe it would nice to have friends, or at the very least people that he didn't hate.

Chama sat between beric and thoros, sandor noticed that she still leaned into Beric. Favoring him to the others but they never kissed, at least not in front of him. Sandor watched her past the fire, her mess of red hair pulled back into a braid, tied with a black ribbon. She noticed him staring and she smiled over at him, quickly he turned his face back down to his food in his lap. Chama pat beric and thoros knees as she got up.

'hi,' chama said softly. 'can I join you?' sandor looked up to her. sandor nodded not trusting his own voice. 'how are you doing?' chama questioned sitting beside him.

'fine, why?'

'you seem quiet.' He grumbled in response. 'last time I saw you, you couldn't shut up.' She remarked. 'complaining and spewing your I am better than thou bullshit.' Chama reminded him. He looked over to her a slightly guilty feeling rushing through him. 'hey its okay, most of these fools have a God complex.' She nodded to her friends.

'I bring people back from the dead!' thoros reminded her, hearing their conversation across the fire.

'I thought you said you were just the lucky drunk that said the words?' chama countered. Sandor chuckled, the girl had a way of getting under thoros skin without even trying which was so sexy. She smiled sheepishly over at sandor, he noticed she was playing with her hands in her lap. Like she was trying to keep her hands to herself and then he remembered. She touched his face, asking about his scar the first time they had a conversation.

'you okay?' sandor questioned.

'yeah just cold.' She informed him. Rubbing her hands together, she got closer to the fire, her hands touching the flames.

'you're too close.' Sandor exclaimed pulling her back into him.

'I put my hands in the fire, lite my face against the flames.' She told him giggling softly in his arms. Slowly he released her.

'youre not....' sandor began. But holding out her hands to him he saw that she was fine.

'it's the only way I can warm up.' Chama informed him.

'kissed by fire. Our Chama is.' Beric called across.

'Cha Cha, walks on burning stones, through a blaze of fire and came out fine.'

'I did not walk through fire.' Chama corrected. 'I ran through it. But I was frozen solid so I was completely fine. My clothes on the other hand...' she smirked over at sandor. Sandor held her hands in his looking over the soft warm skin.

'kissed by fire, sandor.... just like you.' She withheld the urge to touch his scars.

It would be just his luck to start falling for a woman that needed to touch the fire.
