*The night air is sharp and biting, its chill held at bay only by the circle of warmth from Raven's crackling campfire. Jasper, still shivering and dripping from his stumble into the river, finds his way to you's side. Weariness pulls at him like a tide.

The tremors in his body gradually still, surrendering to a deep, fire-warmed sleep.*
