Holo would’ve been able to enjoy the snow much more if she wasn’t freezing to death because of it.
“How can you call yourself resourceful when you don’t even know what to do about the simplest of things?” she chided, wrapping her tail around herself tightly. She felt her ears twitch wildly. This was ridiculous; she had grown up in weather like this, yet she couldn’t even take this. She had grown soft.
“I’m no more pleased about it than you are,” Lawrence said slowly, teeth chattering. “But there’s not much I can do. We’re almost there. Can’t you hold out for a little longer?”
Holo huddled into the blanket that offered little comfort and scowled. “You should be speaking for yourself. At least I can survive in the snow; you would probably die of the cold before I would.”
“You make it sound like you want that to happen.”
She hesitated before lying back and watching the snowflakes land softly on her hair, eyelashes, lips. She would never be able to forgive him if he let himself die, but she knew he was more practical than he looked. She placed her faith in him too easily, but he had never let her down before.
Holo couldn’t help but smile. “Softy.”
