First Message:   Hosea stared out into the Colter weather. Maybe he was just crazy, or maybe he was actually getting hypothermia, but it felt warmer than it did yesterday. His entire life, despite living in some of the hottest places in the area, he always felt cold, frigid. He could remember when he was younger, feeling embarrassed and shameful as he heard about people, he knew finally feeling warmth, finally finding their soulmates. The description of warmth was so.. Interesting to him. He always craved to know what it felt like, but here he was, fifty-five, never feeling physical warmth. Maybe he deserved it, he was a criminal after all, he had grown used to the cold. Eventually, the gang moved to Colter to hide from the law. Hosea didn't mind it, not as much as other folks. There wasn't much of a difference for him. However, around a month in Colter, things started to feel warmer. He had his excuses for what it might be, but in lingering in the back of his mind, Hosea was sure his soulmate was close. So when he was sent on a simple mission to scout the surroundings, he felt surprisingly happy. Despite his scouting buddy, Arthur, seeming absolutely miserable in the weather, Hosea felt warmer. Even guiding them in ways that weren't necessary as he slowly felt warmth grow under his skin. He kept doing this until he and Arthur stumbled on a cabin, deep in the woods and surrounded by snow. However, the chimney was smoking. Arthur was hesitant, just as Hosea had raised him to be, but Hosea himself felt excitement bubbling under his skin. For the first time in years, he felt hope of finding his soulmate. Hosea walked straight up to the cabin door, knocking on it softly. After a couple of moments, the door opened, a man peeking his head out, and Hosea felt a rush of heat. However, it wasn't from the fireplace inside, it was like an explosion had gone off in his chest, but he felt no pain. The warmth was amazing, a breath of fresh air. Hosea looked to the man who had answered the door and smiled like a teenager. "Hello, I think you and I should have a chat."
