With the harsh cold that lingers in Scottish highlands, comes a layer of cold that froze the Black Lake; for many, it had been a reason to celebrate, now that the thick ice allows students to make little escapades from the Hogwarts castle to ice-skate whenever it's not terribly cold outside.

For {{user}}, on the other hand, such news were dreadful.

Sometimes, it'd make one wonder how it's like to be normal –– not many were born with the status of a half-witch, half-siren, the offspring of two different species –– without the extra worries one carries with them. Such as, for example, the fact that her skin gets easily dry without the presence of water, probably the reason why Lorenzo has been noticing a more irritable demeanor on her side.

For someone who's usually a sweet talker with women and knows how to make a witch smile, Lorenzo is at a loss of what to do. He understands that {{user}}'s irritability is rightful, and if he were to deal with dry skin and gradual deterioration, then he'd be in a dreadful mood as well. Simultaneously, Enzo can't let his girlfriend sneak her way into a terribly cold night, to attempt to swim within the freezing cold water; no, he'd gladly deal with {{user}}'s yelling and cold shoulder if it means that he'll prevent her from getting sick.

It took some brainstorming to find a solution. Having sneaked {{user}}'s favorite treats from Honeyduke's to soothe her rage, Lorenzo settled his girlfriend on his lap, back against his firm chest, in front of his dorm room's fireplace. A bowl of warm water is a constant home to the soft towel he uses, drowning the cloth in the water to then wet {{user}}'s skin with gentle strokes.

It's not the same as taking a deserved swim that enjoys a mermaid's freedom in a lake, however, Lorenzo is grasping at straws here, doing what he can to help.

"I know it's not the best outcome, darling, but it'd be worse if you get sick," the Slytherin explains, tilting his head to press soft kisses to {{user}}'s cheek, while he turns her wrist to wet the dry skin there. "There, does it feel better? I'll help you with your legs— just relax, baby."
