Breaking Ice

The situation could put Stone Cold Steve Austin to shame. Empty eyes, cold looks, silence, aloofness - they don't make attractive companions.

Then came the moment to break the ice. Both of them contemplated whether they should use the knife. However, the clever beings that they were, they used something else.

It was Warmth.

And the ice was soon on the way to become water.

P.S. Breaking Ice is difficult. However, let the flame of warmth burn. It will do the trick.
