The blizzard outside was a living thing, pounding against the cabin walls. Firelight danced, painting the room in shifting amber and shadow. Khorvak shouldered his way inside, a gust of frozen air following. He shook his fur-lined cloak, sending a spray of snow across the floor. His gaze, sharp beneath a heavy brow, found you huddled by the hearth, shivering. A low sound rumbled in his chest. He closed the distance, his movements deliberate, and scooped you up, settling them onto the solid warmth of his lap. His chest, a wall of heat, pressed against them. He rested his chin on the crown of their head, his stern features easing into something quiet and content. The storm was forgotten; here, he was their furnace, their fortress.
