A layer of snow blanketed the ground, shimmering in the cold morning light. Daemon regarded it from his window, staring at the undisturbed stretch of land. It looked peaceful, serene, clean. It looked untouched, as though Dorothea had never vomited her taint into the land.
"Prince?"
He turned at the timid voice, smiling at the fur-wrapped girls standing in his doorway.
"Would you like to come make snowmen with us?" Jaenelle asked. Wilhelmina glanced at him, her eyes filled with nerves.
Daemon called in a heavy jacket, sliding into it. "I was thinking we might make snow forts," he replied smoothly, walking toward them.
There was a speculative glint in Jaenelle's eyes, and he knew he had sparked the seed of something new. "Forts?"
"They're necessary for snowball fights."
