[Movement is good. Movement means that they can get a room, that Stefan can focus on throwing fire into the warm stove and bundling his friend with blankets. He doesn't have a full first-aid kit with him - he didn't think of it, with all the blood he was intending to lug back.
He takes in a deep breath, more out of habit than heaviness and exhaustion - Stefan hasn't even broken a sweat.]
Nope, [he admits a little too cheerfully as they get inside and rush towards the front door with unnatural speed.] So let me do all the talking.
[The conversation takes maybe half a minute at most. The front clerk's about to suggest a far steeper price, at the sight of Eugene, but Stefan only has to look into the clerk's eyes and insist that no, the more reasonable price sounds fair. It also sounds like they could use extra firewood and could they throw in some extra frostbite treatment on the house?
Stefan's expression is a relieved one as he snags that room key, drags Eugene into the room, and sets his friend onto the couch. Hang on, friend - he'll get this room warm in no time.]
