December 2nd - Hot chocolate and marshmallows
☆☆☆
"It's so cold!"
Peter smiled gently, turning to Lucy who was tucked under a blanket on the sofa, almost shivering as she sat there. "I'd say that's your fault for being out in the snow for so long." He teased.
Lucy pouted. "It was fun." She said with a small shrug. "Plus, I had to finish the snowman."
Peter laughed softly, going over to his sister and holding out his hand. "Come on." He breathed.
Lucy frowned up at him. "Huh?"
Peter smiled. "Let's go see if we can find some hot chocolate." He said.
Lucy's face lit up, and she all but leapt from the sofa, discarding her blanket and grabbing Peter's hand.
Peter gasped a little. "Gosh your hands are cold." He muttered.
Lucy quickly let go. "Sorry." She apologised, before smiling and grabbing her blanket again, wrapping it around her shoulders and burying her hands under her arms.
Peter wrapped his arm around her shoulders and led her from the sitting room, walking out into the chilly corridor.
"It's really pretty isn't it."
Peter glanced down at his sister, before following her line of sight to the windows and the snow outside. "It is." He breathed.
"Do you reckon the Narnians are okay with it?" Lucy wandered.
Peter smiled. "They're enjoying a natural winter Lu," He told her. "Trust me."
Lucy seemed happy with that. "That's good." She said, resting her head against Peter's shoulder as they walked.
They walked in silence for a little while before Lucy frowned a little. "Is Edmund okay?" She whispered.
Peter hesitated.
"I hear him," Lucy added, voice quiet and sad. "At night."
Peter sighed sadly. "He's struggling." He admitted. "He's not fond of the snow."
Lucy nodded slowly. "Does it remind him of the Witch?" She asked.
Peter nodded a little, a distant look on his face. "It does yeah," He mumbled, before taking a deep breath. "But it's okay, he'll be fine so try not to worry."
Lucy smiled weakly, before taking a deep breath. "Okay." She whispered. "Maybe he'd like a hot chocolate?"
Peter couldn't help but smile at the question. "I'm sure he would." He agreed. "You wanna go find him?"
Lucy nodded. "Yeah." She breathed. "And Peter?"
"Yes Lu?"
Lucy grinned. "Can we have marshmallows with our hot chocolate?" She asked.
Peter laughed and nodded. "I don't see why that should be a problem."
