The Forbidden Frozen Fruit

"Oh!" she exclaimed quietly, her eyelids fluttering open as she heard a familiar voice. She'd been so ready to almost drop off into a pleasant nap when Lachlan's call roused her. Probably for the best not to fall asleep in the cold before she'd gotten her bearings. Siobhan sprung to her feet and shook off the light dusting of snow that had settled on her back. An inquisitive nose poked out from the door of the abandoned barn, twitching with excitement. Soon the rest of her followed, bracing against the cold once more. Snow continued to fall through the spidery, bare branches of the trees around them, making it difficult to pick out her brother for just a moment until she caught his handsome red face, standing out stark against the white of winter. "Lachlan!" She bubbled with excitement, closing the distance between them quickly. There was a queer, quivery feeling in her gut that made her a bit unsteady on her paws, but she wasn't at risk of an episode. Siobhan leaned against her brother's shoulder and smiled into his thick fur.
