It was almost as if overnight the mountain had grown so cold and bare -- it seemed the only thing green were the pines. It was an event that saddend the little bobtail - all her friends were gone - no bugs or frogs to sing at night, and only fat little black birds during the day,... It was lonely. Very lonely for the nature-loving bobtail, and so she ambled towards the HQ on her tiny little legs. She couldn't very well blame the birds, and bugs for going away -- it was dreadfully cold - and not even really winter yet!
With a sigh, and one last look over her shoulder, the bobtail entered the warm stucture.

And like the bugs, the butterfly had quickly sought out a new place to hide. However, all places outside were far too cold to stay in, at least by himself they were, so unfortunately his little goldenrod tush had been herded inside and into the warmest little corner he could find...
by which he'd discovered a fireplace, thus dubbing it the warmest place he could find in the house without throwing himself into the flames. He wouldn't have made a very good Firefly, afterall. At least, -he- thought so, and he wasn't about to test the theory.
The sound of another body entering the shack wasn't foreign to Lawrence, but he lifted his head up to look in the direction of the door, pondering if it was someone he knew entering the structure to possibly make conversation with: His corner was rather boring, afterall. The sight of the familiar little bobtail brought the cold little butterfly's spirits up as he sat up in his place. "Ah! There's a sight for sore eyes~!" he chimed, cheering rather quickly with the sort-of-greeting.

Paisley's ears perked, and everything about the little kitsu brightened.
"Well, hello to you to!" She grinned, bouncing on over.
The HQ was wonderously warm, as compared to outside, but with the sight of her freind, it wouldn't have mattered if it was warm or not. Someone to talk to! Not only that but a friend!
She was, needless to say, very happy to see him. A time or two she had wondered how her butterfly-freind was fairing in this weather, and to see him well and warm made her all the happier.

The brightening in posture of the little bobtail brought a smile to his face. Happiness just suited her so much better. At least, in his opinion.
In silent compromise, he too got up to meet her part way of her little prance, though he didn't dare to move too much farther from the fireplace, since it tended to feel a bit cold for his little heat-sensitive body (okay, so it wasn't that small) to take and he wandered away only rarely.
"Looks as though the snow hasn't dampened your spirit! That's a good sign." he noted, sprawling out in front of the fire, but not closing himself off to her company. Afterall, he rather enjoyed it in comparison to his other 'companions' he'd conversed with in the past. "Too cold to be outside, afterall." To confirm this thought, he shivered a bit, his wings folded up against his back like a collapsible fan would have looked.
Only, y'know, prettier. "I'd imagine that's what brings you inside now?"

She nodded, flopping down beside him with a pout. "It's killed everything! Only thing left to pla with is a oine cone." She said in a childish pout, emphasised by the ways she puffed up and said. "I don't liiike the cooold."
Lawrence looked almost like the bigger kitsu with his wings folded up so tightly, though she figured it must be mutch warmer on them. It still made her give a little giggle, which promtly took away her former pout.
"So! How ya doin'?" Paisley asked, curling up slightly.

Her pout was almost too adorable, like 'I wanna eat it' sort of adorable. Then again, her bigger-than-teen stature might have been a factor in the 'aww so cute' appeal of it. But then again, it fit her so well. At least, from what he knew of her.
"I don't like the cold either." he agreed, again shivering in effect of the idea, before he looked to her, with a bit of a laugh. "It's cold and my wings are far from being able to handle it any." At this, he unfolded his wings and fluttered them a bit, partially to show them off again, and partially to warm the thin-vesseled gossamer. They didn't take well to any weather, but cold wings made for a cold and miserable Lawrence.
"Me? Well, I've just been in here. It's rather a drag, to say." he admitted, laying his head down on his paws and pouting slightly, before looking up at Paisley and grinning. "But needless to say, you're the first friendly face I've recognized in a while, so in a way, you're a highlight of the day. On that note, how have -you- been?" he asked.

"Tehehe! Now you've got me so noooo moooreeee bordom!" She giggled, batting a paw at Lawrence's nose as he pouted.
"Glad to be of service!" Paisley chirped, cheerfully - the outside world of death and coldness forgotten. After all, since she was no longer subjected to it, there was no need to dwell on it! She was the happy, cheery, little hippie-girl again, with her butterfly friend! She could just pretend it was summer in the cabin!
"Much better now! It's waaaaarm, I have a friend to talk toooooo,." She listed them of, tilting her head from one side to another as she listed them off, looking at him with that happy kit-ish face.

"Well -that- is good to hear!" Lawrence pipped at her lovely volunteering to be company, though by talking with her, it seemed as though he'd volunteered her to be his 'unboredom' to an extent. "You're more than welcome company, in my eyes."
Her cheer was a bright little spark of light in the glum winter, in his opinion. He wiggled his nose a bit under her paw, before lifting his head back up again, then laughed a bit. "Quite a list you got there!" he commented, sort of flopping his head to one side in a sort of 'interested in my company more than what they're saying' sort of manner...
but he was listening.
"Warm is good, and I'm always here to talk to. Can't be going outside unless we were to get some scarfs and boots or something like that. Much better to just stay inside."

"We can just stay in here! eheh, sound like waaaay too much trouble to go outside. Besides," She floped down on her back, using him as a pillow, "-nothing to do out there! Evil cold! hmp!" She turned her nose to the air, before putting on a wide smile.
"Wooow, Y'know, haven't been in here since I was little. Err, well,...REALLY really little! Tehe!" She flopped back over on her belly, lightly smacking his ear as she did so.
Part of her had half expected to find her parents here. Maybe they were off exploring? Who would want to go out in this weather? Oh well! She'd say hi to momma later!

He shifted slightly in order to render himself a better pillow to her cause, despite that it was slightly uncomfortable for him. But hey, it was better to be a good pillow and have company than be comfortable for himself and be a bad pillow and be alone.
At her sudden exclamation, Lawrence chuckled a bit. "I've only been in here once before, and that's when my little sister dragged me in here to go 'LOOKIT MAH BABIEZ'." he explained, sort of sulking inside. Ahh, how sad he was that he couldn't be the most important figure in his sister's life anymore.
Heck, he really didn't feel important as a figure at anybody's life until Paisley had greeted him so enthusiastically.
"But I imagine you were very cute when you were little." he commented thoughtfully, before looking towards the window. "It's too bad the cold has to scare off all the life outside, as well as the livability of the outdoors.... because I think the snow actually looks rather nice. Just.. too cold for me."

"Oh, so your saying I'm not cute now? geeee, thanks!" Paisley said tesingly, before lokking out the window aswell. "I miss all the colors though. The snows so plain,." she watched out the window a moment before poping back around to look at Lawrence.
"So, your sisi had babies, huh? And your not thier lil jungle gym? Tehehe." She giggled. "I dun think any of my siblings have,. hnhn, and there's a couple I'm positive wont!" She said, thinking of her brother, Rhu.
She kept the conversationg happy and lightseeing a little how his sister being buisy with the rest of her family must have him slightly upset. Paisley wasn't the best at determining emotions, but Lawrence was her friend, and despite not seeing him up till now, after thier first meeting, she could pretty well assume,.
Well, she'd just have to be a happy little ball of summer-time sun shine!

"Nope." he jested back at her, "You're just pretty now. Dunno if that's an upgrade from being a cute little pudgy baby, though." There was just something -adorable- about little children. Except the crawling on Uncle Lawrence part, in his mind. "Mn. Not really. They have their mother and their father to crawl on.... or rather their mother, since their mother seems to be using their father as a jungle gym for the most part." he explained, doing a sort of paw-waving motion gesture along with it.
He couldn't help but laugh a bit when she said she was sure certain siblings wouldn't have kids. "Oh, I know the feeling. Not to say I have more than my sister out there, but there are some you know that you just -know- won't be a parent anytime in the future." he agreed.
Shifting a bit, he pondered finding some activity besides just sitting in front of the fireplace for the pair of them to do.... Ah ha!
"Would you care to help me water some of the plants in here? I watered them a couple nights ago, but I'm sure they'd love to have someone as lovely as you come and water them, as opposed to me."

Another giggle came from the happy bobtail as he explained his sister's little family, and nodded in agreement with his next comment.
She had to admit, although she loved sitting there talking with him, that was just the problem - just sitting there. She was a happy little ball of energy1 She had to be up and running. Just how was she going to make the winter in the little cabin? Then, her little face brightened at the thought of plants, as she let out a happy gasp.
"Okay!" Paisley was up on her feet in seconds - not that that was too hard to do anyway.
Plants! More friends!

The mention of the plants had brought about the result he'd expected from her, bringing him up to his feet as well, though that required a bit more effort on his part, as he'd pretty much been doing nothing but lounging about boredly for about a week and a half.
So it took some mental persuasion to get him up to his feet. Once up, however, he was ready to go, making his way to the hallway, shivering once he got away from his happy little source of heat, before going to the door, picking up the watering can he'd left there in his previous adventure in watering plants, then shivering again, because it was cold in his mouth.
"ook. Nwegugeewaaar." He said around it, sounding something akin to 'Now we go get water', instead of 'war', before trotting off towards the kitchen. There was a sink in there for them to put water in the pail with.
And maybe he was tall enough to boost Paisley up there so he wouldn't have to scramble up onto the counter and nearly kill himself in the process of it again.

She blinked a bit as he went outside to get the pail.
"You should have let me get that!" She said as he came in, shivering, lightly scolding him as they made thier way to the sink. Once there, paisly tried to scramble up the counter to the sink, hopping, hopping, with no luck.
"Oooooooo, darnit!" She pouted.
