Broken Antler Fen they will see us waving from such great heights

For those that didn't know them, Meerkat and Toad might have looked as a mother and daughter pair for their harmonious glee as they trekked toward the Fen. Toad laughed as Meerkat stopped to wave at the Caldera, copying the movement with her much larger creamy paw. When Meerkat turned back, Toad saw snow starting to tease at the air. She inhaled crisp, new Winter air and let out a relaxed "haaah" just as she realized the sandy young lady was watching them melt on her paw.

I love these first light snows we always get at the beginning of Winter, she said, light-hearted. She took a moment to do the cliche thing she'd always liked to do, sticking her tongue out. She searched for a falling flake. When she found one, she rushed to it with her tongue lolled out, forcing it to fall onto her tongue. She swallowed the snowflake, then said, they should really try changing the flavour one of these winters. She looked at Meerkat, grinning.
