#4

Jack stood there in the middle of North's meeting room, desperately trying not to laugh. The Wind had followed him inside...again. But that would be fine, she stayed curled around him most of the time and things very rarely got broken, if it weren't for the comments.

Not for the first time Jack was incredibly glad that the others could not understand her. Some of them were incredibly rude. It was an old pattern that they had slipped into over 300 years in each others company. Whenever Jack was feeling worried or depressed the Wind would make rude, snarky comments about whoever had brought those feelings on her frost child, just to hear him laugh.

Now that Jack was a Guardian, it was more out of habit that she did it. And it was getting increasingly problematic for Jack. He had tried explaining that the Wind talked to him, and that he could understand her. But the Guardians had only looked at him oddly, enticing new comments from the Wind. Still, bursting out laughing in the middle of a skirmish with Pitch was less than opportune.

And, to put things mildly, the other Guardians were getting rather pissed off with the whole thing. Bunny in particular.

"What in the bloody hell is so funny?!"

The latest occurrence was walking through the snow around the Pole, they had agreed to help North renew his wards there. Jack if only to clear away the snow. Bunny was less that happy with the situation, but North had pulled in an old favour. Now Bunny was merrily (or not so merrily) freezing his tail off in sub-zero temperatures.

Jack may or may not have reduced the temperature by a few degrees deliberately.

Of course Jack laughing for no apparent reason was the last straw. Whatever excuse the Frostbite used for laughing at them, Bunny did not readily believe the story about the 'wind'.
