Winter Chill
Bird didn't pretend to understand the guard, that doesn't stop them from becoming friends OR. Cattail protag makes sure a stubborn guard stays warm

Jag tried not to shiver as the first cold nip of winter moved in. They shuffled their paws in place in an attempt to warm them, though the hard stone under offered no warmth even with their movement. They almost didn't see the approaching cat though the thick fog. They jerked as a nose touched their shoulder, turning quickly with a snapped word ready on their tongue. Before recognizing the young hunter.Â
"Ah, it's just Bird, nearly forget to come home again did we?" They hummed, settling back down and giving their fur two quick swipes of their tongue. Bird shook their head, a dark shape hanging from their jaws. They placed the rabbit down in front of Jag, blinking their dark purple eyes at the stunned guard.Â
"You looked cold, this should warm you up." They nosed the rabbit closer. A softness entered their chest for the strange hunter. Jag leaned over and gave a quick lick to the top of Bird's head as thanks before ripping into the food at their feet. The blood was still warm on their tongue and they felt it spread through their body. Bird smiled and with a quiet flick of their tail, slipped up the rocks and into camp.Â
