slip slidin' away

Despite being cold the boy wasn’t a complete monster, as he sunk into the warmth the scrap could provide him he uttered a relieved sigh along with a note of thanks. Venom felt herself smiling softly in surprise as she returned the words with a quick nod of her head. When she returned a question she managed to catch his attention and in curiosity he tilted his head up at her.

He couldn’t seem to keep his gaze on her, and she was confident that had he been distracted by something dangerous, Poison would have called out. ”Do you know what sledding is?” Her first winter had been tainted by the eruption, she never got to enjoy the snow. Venom had been around his age when her father perished. She tried not to dwell on those thoughts too heavily, this was about warming him up, maybe having a little fun, and perhaps instilling a little bit of trust in her little brother.
