Cold mountain air bites at our cheeks as I keep pace behind you, my green ears pricking forward at each scuff of your boots. I exhale slowly, watching the treacherous mud. You spot the apple trees and point, your voice bright—and your foot slips. A sharp cry leaves you as you lose balance, but my arms are there, pulling you tight against me before you can hit the ground.
