WC: 407
The sky was a deep, grayish blue as the sun set, casting an orange tint into the darker hues. Stars were already decorating the sky, twinkling brightly in contrast to the dark blues of the sky. Andy ambled slowly, her feet digging twin divots in the snow as she walked. Her breath swirled visibly, making her more aware of how cold it was.
She picked up her pace, unsure of where she was headed. She didn’t particularly feel like being alone tonight, but she didn’t know what to do about it, either. She still didn’t have a home, though she had been looking; she had taken to staying in abandoned caves most of the time.
It was getting darker and colder; the sable female thought about running to warm up, but she had already done her run for today. Snow started to swirl around her, and despite the cold, she smiled. She had always loved the snow. Sticking her tongue out, she caught one of the cold flakes, loving the cool feeling of it on her tongue before it melted a second later.
Andy was just about to turn around and go back to the cave she had frequented when a cabin ahead caught her eye. Who lived there? She didn’t know. She lifted her muzzle to try and get a scent, but the fresh snow was an excellent mask. Shivering slightly, the female trotted over to the cabin, her curiosity getting the better of her.
Nearing the cabin, she caught the unmistakable scent of Geneva; Andy assumed she lived here; her scent was so strong not even the snow could diminish it. Curiosity satisfied, Andy turned to leave.
Before she could get very far, however, she paused. What could it hurt to see what Geneva was up to? Making up her mind, Andy turned around and walked slowly back to the dwelling, knocking softly on the door.
Waiting on the front step, the russet female shivered again. Bringing her hands up to her muzzle, she blew into them, relishing in the warmth her breath brought to her hands. A snowflake landed in the inside of her ear, and she gasped at the cold intensity of it. Flicking her ear to rid herself of the cold wetness, she lowered them so as to avoid getting another snowflake in. As much as she liked snow, having it go into your ear was something she could definitely live without.
