As the echoing sounds of crushing ice and trees and pounding foot falls followed behind the two screaming chows bitter wind blew bitingly through them both.
“Explain to me how you thought throwing SNOWBALLS at the berserker would help!!!” Velvet shouted over his shoulder looking back at snowball who was running just as quickly in a panic
“I- don’t know!!! I thought maybe it would help!!!! You can’t blame me for actually trying something new and fun!” He retorted sharply as he looked at velvet accusatively “you didn’t have any better ideas!!”
“Just because I didn’t have a better idea doesn’t mean we had to go with the *Stupidest* one you come up with!!” Velvet snapped back veering off to the right to dart into the forest line to try to get out of the berserkers way under cover.
Snowball however trying to follow suit tripped and rolled into a snow bank in a puff of snowflakes and a flurry of cold. He let out a gasp as he sunk into the snow hiding in the ice cold mound as he peeked out from the hole in it due to his less than graceful entry.
The berserker darted past in its boundlessly cold fury not bothering to change course to chase after two measly chowlings barreling through the snow.
However snowball felt himself getting pulled back by his bandana! He squirmed and writhed rolling backwards before being met with a tearful velvet who was….crying…?
Velvet blubbered “I’m so sorry snowball are you okay? I didn’t see you hit the snow at first and- I- I thought it got you!” He clumsily wrapped his arms around snowball with a wail “I didn’t want you to think I hated you and I didn’t want my last words to you to be that!” He stammered wildly before being met with a snowball to the face and a grinning friend.
“Now now! Don’t cry! I mean it-! I’m not mad at you. You were kinda right why don’t we both try to come up with a better idea together?” Snowball asked with a smile to try to soothe velvet
Velvet the blubbering mess he was nodded and leaned into snowball with a hiccup “o…okay…” he whimpered softly
