Swallowed the cat to catch the bird...

It was cold… but at least Houdini was back in a nice little den they had made for themselves in the area. The tiny youth was just glad to have made it back north after his encounter with Kasdeya in Auster. It had been a bit tense but at least he had gotten out of that net… That had been an ordeal that Gavroche hadn’t expected… but it had been good in the long run. It reminded him that not everyone here was going to be his friend… and that was something he’d do well to remember. Not every encounter was going to be a safe one… he’d have to toughen up or he was going to be a dead man.

“Man it’s cold…” The boy complained to himself, expelling the words in a breath of frosty air. “I wish it wasn’t…” He liked when it was warm, when he could feel the sun on his back and wouldn’t have to worry about making sure he didn’t have to freeze to death.

Gavroche paused as a single snowflake hit his nose. He glanced up at the sky with a soft sigh. Great… looked like snow was in the forecast too…

Couldn’t anything go right?
