Summary
It started with a cough.
Maelle had squinted at him the first time she'd caught it. Perhaps questioning whether or not she had truly heard it, which to her defense wasn't unlikely that she'd missed it. Verso was making it a point to hide it, after all. They couldn't afford to be slowed down by something so silly. Besides, he was immortal: he would get over it within a day, surely. Aline's blasted power wouldn't let him so much as brush with death, and he’d encountered far more dangerous things than a cough. Esquie’s poison mushrooms, Nevrons and their pointy weapons, even that blasted snake in the sky that had a penchant for swallowing him whole.
So, no. He wasn’t sick. Obviously not.

Summary
The mountain, as is to be expected, is bloody freezing at practically all points of the day.
The early morning sun is often blinding, glinting off of shimmering frost and reflecting light directly into Verso’s eyes. The nights are frigid, left shivering under blankets that never seem quite thick enough, curled tight into one corner of the bed.
It’s a little miserable by most accounts. Living up on a cold, snowy mountain is probably a stupid idea.
But Monoco is also there, and it doesn’t seem that stupid then.
(Or, Verso’s long life is wearing him down. Monoco tries to help.)
