Stone Circle and folks like me on the job from 9 to 5

blondine wasn't keen on dipping her head into the near-frozen pond. there's snow? she asked, would you help me get it on? while waiting for dawn to answer, she pawed at the ground to try and build up a pile. 

i just gotta get this blood off. it would take a little more work, using snow instead of water, but it would save her the risk of developing hypothermia. blondine bent down and rubbed her face into the pile she'd kicked up, then lifting and hoping that dawn would know to help with a little scrubbing.
