”Me either.” Jack said, looking around the room.
Madeleine walked into the room, and dropped her pack in the middle of the floor, before unceremoniously flopping face first into the fur-covered bed.

Jack set he pack down beside Rose's, and picked up Madeleine's and set it with their two. Urien had finally allowed them to take their packs back from Farien right when they arrived at the outskirts, much to the relief of the pale and sweat-soaked young man.
Looking over at the fireplace built into the cave wall, Jack asked ”Do you two want a fire? The cold doesn't bother me, but I'm happy to start one if you want one.”
”Yes, please” Madeleine's muffled voice said from the fur pile. Jack looked at Rose, who nodded.

With a faint flash of green, crackling energy, several rough-cut chunks of wood dropped from the air in front of his hand into the fireplace with a faint clatter. He celebrated silently to himself as the pieces fell into place. He hadn't figured out how to create living matter, or things made from living matter, so the best he could do under the circumstances was to try and bring firewood from somewhere else. He hoped Simon wouldn't miss the couple pieces he'd just ”borrowed” from his wood pile outside the farmhouse.
With a small flourish of his hand and another word, the logs flared to life, crackling warmly as the fire began to creep its way along their length, immediately beginning to warm the room and casting stark shadows against the far wall and ceiling.
