We are finally sitting in front of a fire, thawing our numb hands and feet. Pinoko sat beside me, beginning to tell me a little about who they are and why they're here. Black Jack sat in one of the seats, studying a book he found in the cellar below. I was relieved and somewhat in awe that this man was the best surgeon in the world, or that's at least how his "wife" put it.
"Hey, Black Jack. I-uh, I just wanted to say...thanks for saving my ass."
He looks up at me for a brief moment, then continues with his reading. A small reaction is good enough for me. I notice Pinoko pouting and mumbling something, but I'm not exactly sure why so I disregard it.
The delicate sound of crackling fire fills the room over the vicious wind outside. Wood logs creak and moan under the force. The shut of a book catches my attention, and I look over to see the doctor lean forward, looking directly at me.
"So," he starts, "Tell us a bit about yourself, now."
"Well...," I felt my face heat up at the sudden attention on me. "I'm twenty-five years old and I love to snowboard...That's how I got trapped in this goddamn storm in the first place. Hey, I have a question, though. What's that scar from on your fa-"
"YOU'RE TWENTY FIVE?" Pinoko jumps in, taking one of my hands. "I'm eighteen!" She smiles widely.
I don't really believe her, but because Black Jack doesn't deny it I decide to go along with it. "Wow...I-I guess we both look much younger than our age, hahah."
I notice a quiet, low chuckle from the doctor before the room falls peacefully silent again. I inhale deeply and let out a content sigh, my eyes beginning to feel heavy with tiredness. A low rumble can be heard gradually getting more and more noticeable as the minutes went by. I close my eyes while I rest my head on my hand, not awake enough to pay attention. I hear the mumbling of Pinoko and Jack's conversation just before I fall sleep.
A/N: Sorry for the short chapter. I can guarantee the next chapter will be more exciting. Thanks for tuning in!
