Alarik was pretty sure they'd piled enough snow on his back by now, but he didn't complain when Ashmedai kept going. And, oblivious to his plans, the Xanilov boy just stood still and let the snow pile up. Who knew something so light and fluffy could be so heavy? Especially when someone packed it down.

But still, being the trusting man he was, he let the other male continue. Until his words gave Alarik pause. "Why not?" he asked, snorting with amusement as he dropped down the way Alarik had done earlier, making himself a snow bulldozer. "Ash, what are you doing?"

And only now was he beginning to get suspicious.
