" Prince Adrien, I told you we had to seek shelter earlier. Now it´s snowing, and the hotels are on the opposite side of the city, we won´t make it in time before the snow storm! Your father, the king, will kill me when his Majesty learns, you died frozen! Arghhhh I…" stated Nino, the valet of Prince Adrien.
"Nino! Stop worrying! If I´m going to die, you too. Father won´t have the possibility to kill you."
"Thank you Prince it surely is reassuring!"
"Look, there is a stall over there. Let´s gather our horses and stay there until the storm has stopped."
They walked under the heavy falling snow towards the stall. Both sighed in relief as the discovered the warmth inside. The stall was small, there already was a horse, which appeared to be unphased by the visitors. Adrien and Nino made their way inside with their horses. After eating everything they had left, they decided to take a nap, while the storm calmed down.
Adrien woke up with the sound of a sliding door and light footsteps.
"I´m so sorry Tikki, I completely forgot to give you something to eat! I was so busy at the bakery. With Maman and Papa gone, I totally forgot. Here I brought you a cookie, your favourite. Let´s get you more to eat… Aaaaaaahhhhh!"
Nino and Adrien stood up quickly at the young girl´s scream. She instantly grabbed a nearby tool and presented it menacingly to both young men.
"W-What are you doing here? What are you doing in my stall?"
Nino slowly made his way in front of Adrien to fulfil his duty to protect him (even from furious girls) and calmly explained: "The snow storm caught us by surprise, we are extremely sorry. We are not here to steal your horse or your supplies; we are just waiting for the end of the storm."
Suddenly feeling like she overreacted, the young girl didn´t know how to respond. "Oh! U-Umm I-I´m sorry, I should have known- I just walked here and felt the storm- umm- saw the storm-uuh…". She scratched her arm sheepishly.
"Don´t be sorry, I would have had the same reaction." Nino stated.
An awkward silence began. Nobody knew what they were supposed to do or say in this particular situation.
"W-well you might as well get comfy; I heard the storm will last long…" As if on cue, the men's´ stomach began to gurgle. The girl started to quietly giggle "Come with me, I think you will be better in a real house than with the horses." She started to walk out, and Adrien and Nino had to run to catch up with her.
I hope you liked it!
