Prompt: "frostbite"

Notes: I have a headcanon that Susan was literally traumatized by all the times the Witch's wolves tried to chase them down and attack them, so in an effort to break her fear, Aslan appointed her a pack of female wolves as body guards. She eventually warms up to them.

Chapter 24: A Cold Night in Warm Furs


She knows she's being Silly and a coward-even though the wolf pack had been appointed Susan's royal guards by Aslan himself, that they've been nothing but loyal and kind and courteous since the final battle against the Witch, she still flinches as Frigga noses her bare fingers.

"Please return to the cave for now, your majesty," she murmurs softly and for once Susan remembers that Frigga is a mother. "The blizzard will pass soon and then we shall escort you home. The cave may not be much, but your limbs will not freeze and rot inside."

She means it earnestly, but like everything else her Captain of the Guard does, she's still unsettling; Susan forces herself to take a breath and nod. "Yes, of course, you're right."

At least the pile of sleeping wolves are warm and her guards good natured as Susan beds down for the night and tries to remember that despite winter coming early this far north, that it is only a freak blizzard and not all wolves mean to bloody their teeth with her flesh.
