It’s a very happy reunion, until Iylas wonders were Qwin was
They explain what happened, and Iylas, still recovering from illness, tried to move over to his bed to see him
He was immediately sat back down, and Ilyas grew conflicted
Dean updated her home bunker on Ilyas’ return, but didn’t elaborate. Telling them that they had not left yet -obviously- and they will call when Ilyas was fully recovered
Qwin wakes up the day after Ilyas.
He is immediately questioned, as is Ilyas, about what happened after the Blizzard.
Ilyas explains that when he went looking for him, he found him nearly dead and attempted to carry him back to camp before he collapsed in the snow. When he woke up he was surprised to feel the rise and fall of Qwins chest, and even more surprised to find it the evening of the next day. A boulder had shielded their faces from the snow, and allowed air flow, but they were buried and somehow alive with just a blanket. Very sick and weak, but alive. (Or maybe an animal came by to eat them, but Ilyas kills it by taking all its heat???)
Qwin picks up that he woke up after Ilyas had unburied them, he knew he had hypothermia because he was numb and warm, and he said he knew there was no way Ilyas didn’t have it too.
Ilyas agrees and says that he tried to carry Qwin, but collapsed after a few slow hours.
Qwin expresses feeling the sharp cut of cold for a while before Ilyas collapses, but blames it on hypothermia hallucinations. He says that after he collapsed he took to dragging him to the only place he knew was near and warm. Which was here. He leaves out Kymil. But Einar and Dean feel like both Ilyas and Qwin are hiding something.
They ask what happened the days after they woke up
They dont answer
