Day 4 - Coat
The evening air may not have that chilling bite that’s normally prevalent during the colder season, but it does carry an occasional breeze that sends an unpleasant jolt running down Ingo’s arms every time it passes over him. At the very least, he’s still wearing gloves, even if the white cotton provides a flimsy barrier to the chill.
“Ingo…” Asks a voice beside him. Your mouth may be muffled from the collar of his coat, but he can still hear the hesitation in your voice, “Are you sure you don’t want this back?”
He balls up his shaking fists, resisting the urge to rub some warmth back into his arms.
“Absolutely!” He responds, without stuttering or biting his tongue somehow. “I can assure you, a chill in the air will not derail me. Furthermore, I will not allow you to walk home in such conditions.”
When he and Emmet were put in charge of the Battle Subway, their uniforms were tailor made, from the shoes to the caps. So it’s no surprise that his coat would fit you poorly. The thing hangs loosely off your shoulders and goes well below the knees, looking less like a jacket and more like a dress. Most of your face disappears behind the collar and he can just barely see the tips of your fingers poking out from the sleeves.
To anyone else, it would be an utterly ridiculous sight. For Ingo, it’s something that kindles a sense of warmth in his chest. Warm enough that, by the time he reaches your doorstep and you hand back his coat, he hardly feels like it’ll do any good. But them he puts it back on - some of the tension leaving his body as the cold is waved away - and he takes in a breath.
His coat smells just a little like you, now.

[Image Description: A digital painting depicting Feldspar standing to the right of a campfire, facing away from the viewer and upwards. They are holding an arm outstretched above them and the other gesticulates as if they were telling a story. Several fireflies surround them and their shadow falls to their right. Wreathed in the smoke of the campfire is a scene of their campsite in Dark Bramble. Three large twisting brambles, the anglerfish fossil’s teeth, and three pine trees are suspended upside down, stretching downwards toward Feldspar and the campfire. A plume of stylized curling smoke stretches across the top of the scene from Feldspar’s ship in the top right corner. The ship is sparking with electrical failure. End Image Description.]
