i run.
he runs.
we run from the castle.
i laugh.
it feels good to be completely warm again.
the bag thumps on my back.
i don't mind.
it has extra clothes for when mine get wet and food.
real food.
not the meat the prince brings me.
i don't know how to start a fire.
so, i can't eat what he offers.
now, he rushes to the cave.
I rush after him.
the snow covers our tracks.
