Slocum 428 (2014)
“He heard only a slight wind, low but insistent, but not the persistent pelting of snow. As if reading his mind, Hella spoke in the dark beside him. “Sounds like the snow stopped, but the wind didn’t.”
“Still,” said Slocum, “it’s a lot quieter sounding than last night.”
He wanted to be up and ready, and out tracking the culprits of all this misery, as early as possible. To his relief, Hella roused him through quick, deft ministrations with her warm, strong hands, convincing him without w...ords that they had plenty of time before they had to depart.
Later, satisfied that they each had performed a fair amount of pre-rising activity, they greeted the chill morning air with hurried steps to the fireplace, used the thunderpot, and tugged on their day’s clothes in a hurry, lest they somehow lose the heat they had worked up within their bodies.
And thus, in short order, Slocum and Hella found themselves on the trail, or what she told him was the trail.MoreLess
