Keeping Warm During a Snowstorm - Antoine & Bunnie

[mon_dieu]

 Panic might as well have been Antoine's middle name. Once fear settled in his head, it was hard to think rationally. It had started out so simply - Knothole was due for a hard snowstorm, and the princess had ordered everyone to stay home. That was fine and good, and the snow had built, and as Antoine had been about to make himself a warm snack he had touched the metal stove. He had shivered - metal was extra chilly during the winter, he noticed.

Then it struck him like lightning - how was Bunnie going to handle this?! Half of her body was metallic! What if she was writhing in agony right this very second? She was his best friend - with definitely something extra growing underneath the surface - and she was suffering endless agony! TO ARMS!

That would explain why he was out in the snow and the storm, relentlessly digging away towards Bunnie's small house, a hefty backpack so full of blankets that it was ready to explode at the seams on his back, and a load of hastily chopped firewood hung over his shoulder. By now his own tail was ready to freeze off, but he refused to stop until he was at her door.

"HANG ON, MON CHERE!"
