Spared the need to try and figure out what the man meant any longer by Giulia's sudden hug, Asta nestled her head with the other woman's and forgot about everything for a moment while Giulia cried.  Her arms were almost too tight but Asta didn't care and realized how much she herself needed the touch of another person.  The catalyst of Giulia's tears summoned her own and with a sob Giulia felt and the others probably did not hear, Asta's eyes lot go.  Hot and almost stinging, her pale eyes screwed shut and the tears leaked around them, dripping onto Giulia's skin and into her hair.  Would she ever see her family again, or know the cold crisp kiss of snow in her face?<br/><br/>Giulia let go first and backed away, catching Asta by surprise.  She stumbled, then moved in to embrace Giulia, trapping her glasses between their bodies; Giulia's almost bare and her folded and rolled clothing making it all the more tantalizing, Asta's naked in the very essence of the word and both of them hot on the other.  Pulling at her, tugging her down, Asta sat on a convenient suitcase and made Giulia sit with her, still clinging.  Asta's head rested on Giulia's shoulder and her arms were around the curvy girl's waist, holding tight, as she kept crying.<br/><br/>"Haluan mennä kotiin! Kaipaan perheeni ja haluan nähdä heidät uudelleen!"  Asta lifted her head to look at Giulia, but of course she didn't understand a word the pale girl was saying to her.  "Se on liian kuuma eikä poroja ole, ja kaikki on kauheaa!"  Asta buried her head again and just shook, small body trembling as she finally let the emotion of the crash, of the knowledge that she was completely cut off from her family, from everything she knew, took over.  "Auta minua. Auttaisitko minua.  Vie minut kotiin!"<br/><br/>She wanted to go home, she needed to go home.  She'd never been so far away from her family in her life, even when she went out onto the tundra alone with nothing more than what she wore and a small blanket roll to use if it got really cold while chasing down a stupid reindeer that didn't know how to stay with the herd.  That wasn't the same thing because at any time she could just look inside her head and remember where she had been and follow her own mental footsteps back to her people.  She didn't even know where she was, or her people, or even what direction they might be!  Asta shook a final time then stopped, but still clung tightly to Giulia.  She felt hot, so very hot in a way that went beyond the heat of the day, and her skin was flushed and feverish and she was so, so thirsty like there would never be enough water to drink ever again.
