Not exactly, but it's better to get moving than stading in the snow like that ..

... and besides, this seems an unexpectedly sensible agreement.
The two lovebirds, happy to spend some time together alone, surely won't mind the heavier task.

After having unloaded the car together, Isaac starts inspecting the house, while Ethan begins carrying inside their light luggage.
They are plannig to spend only one night here and not doing much sleeping either, so they've packed more or less just an emergency change of clothes, pjamas and toothbrushes.
Obviously the heaviest it's Harper's one, containing also something 'nicer' for the party.
Ethan, definetly not a heavyweight with his 140lbs for 5'9 body, has to struggle to take it inside thorugh the fresh snow, but he can't really complain with anyone, given he was the one who assigned the tasks.

Recovered a couple of shovels and some tarp from the toolshed, Harper has started clearing from the snow the area surrounding the entrance.
Luke instead has proceeded to cover Ethan's car with the tarp before joining his her.

A couple of hours later, their are all inside, sat on around the table together.

Luke and Harper look tired, but smile.
Clearing all the perimeter of the house from a layer up to three feet thick of snow, was almost like a stroll for them, not counting the cold.
But to be honest, they seems to have warmed up pretty nicely now ...

Isaac and Ethan, have brought all that was loaded in their car inside, baggages, two boxes full of liquors, foodstuff, snacks mostly, stowing everything in its place.
A lighter job, wich definetly didn't warm them up as much as thir friends, but done partly indoor.

"Ok guys, a few service informations :

-One bathroom, that way, the boiler capacity is not that great, it can barely last three hot showers, keep that in mind, don't waste water.

-Kitchen, over there, last century tech, no fridge, low energy consumption, perfect for the old oil-fueled electric generator of the house, moreso given that uncle didn't refuel last time he came...

It's possible that we'll be **** to borrow some oil from the car for tonight.
-Two bedrooms, double beds, upstairs, sorry Harper, i know it's not very nice on my part as a host, but E.T. came first, i had to let him decide wich one to take.

-Fireplace, needs wood, it would be best to have it lighted before night falls.
Should be all, for now."

"This place is so frigging cold, Isy, it's nothing like you described it ..." Grumbles Harper, rubbing her hands.

"Yeah dude, isn't there something we can do to warm it up? Can't you turn on the heating or something?"Agrees her boyfriend.

"No can't do. Did you hear anything of what i've just said? There is no 'heating', just the fireplace. The stove out in the toolshed it's only for the water and the gas tank supplies only the kitchen burner and oven." Replies them seraphic their friend.

"Still better than being outside, don't you think?" He adds rubbing his hands together and then breathing on them.

"So how the fuck are we supposed to warm ourselves up?" Fronws Ethan, he too shivering.

"Move, keep yourself busy, chop some wood, that would help greatly ... I don't know, maybe do some squats?"

"We could drink something ..."

"It's barely noon, Harper, and you know i don't drink."

"Well, it would be just like anticipating the party a little, i don't think it would be that bad ... Anyway i was just suggesting to put on some tea, genius."

"Oh. That would be ... marvelous, thank you, Harper. "

"I wasn't exactly offering myself to do it ... "

"Ok ok, i get it , don't give me those puppy eyes, it's not fair. But next time you should seriously consider bringing your mommies along guys ... " She adds rightly afterwards.
