A Stroll Through The Mountains

“Aaah! The crisp mountain air. Isn’t it invigorating?”

I wanted to kick Mu in the shin, or somewhere equally hurtful. Unfortunately, I was too busy shivering and trying to prevent my teeth from cutting my tongue clean off.

To my right, Arthur appeared on the same boat; his hands rubbing his chest and arms in an attempt to stave off the offending cold.

Curiously enough, Aramis didn’t seem even a bit affected, despite wearing a dress with no cape.

“I totally agree, Your Grace. The weather is wonderful,” the golden-haired maid said.

Mu nodded with a wide smile. “Too true, my lady. Too true.”

I mocked his words under my breath and would have done more had his arm not fallen on top of my shoulders, staving off the cold and providing me with a much-needed heat like that of a warm blanket, as he pulled me closer to his frame where my trembling subsided altogether.

“Y-you’re enjoying t-this far t-too much,” I grumbled, stuttering despite the heat now coursing through me.
