"Are you warm?"
The little fledging nodded quickly, smiling up from under the warm scarf wrapped around her neck, as the large hands zipped up the warm coat she was tucked away in.
Lucifer returned her smile and pulled the hat further down her head.
Behind him his brother heaved a sigh for what must have been the thousandth time in the last minute alone. Lucifer rolled his eyes and stood up taking the little mitten wrapped hand in his own.
"Yes brother?", they both turned to face the Healer, taking in his crossed arms and unhappy gaze, "You have sighed at least a thousand times in the last minute alone."
The Healer glared at him, "I have not.", Akeela giggled softly into her free hand and he spared her a glance, "Do not be so quick to find humor in this little one.", she nodded but continued to giggle, "Don't let her stay out there too long."
"As if I didn't already know that. We'll be back before you even notice we're gone."
"I doubt it."
Akeela looked back up to her choir master and he smiled back down at her.
"Wanna go see outside?"
She nodded excitedly and tugged on his hand lightly, he squeezed her little hand softly and they turned for the door, he opened it and ushered her out into the cold white. Her eyes widened in awe, staring at all the white, she held a purple mitten'd hand out and caught a little white flake in her palm.
"What is it Luci?"
"It's called snow, little one."
She giggled softly as one landed on her nose, "It's cold!"
"It is."
"Like you Luci!"
"Watch it squirt."
