Bingo: Blizzard + Mage + Awkward Moment + Mistletoe + A Pleasant Surprise
Summary: Alanna is stuck in a blizzard.
Alanna was out of magic. Since this wasn’t the first time she had used her gift to keep her warm while walking through a blizzard one would have thought she would no better, but no. All she had left was the little bit that was tied to her life. At least Alanna was glad that blizzards such as this were unusual in Tortall especially now that she was out of magic and still had quite a ways to walk before she would get to the chambers she was using in the palace. She was beginning to get cold and wished that instead of using all her magic to keep herself warm she had used it to summon a blanket. So what if she had never actually learned how to do that? Where there is a will, there is a way, and Alanna’s will was becoming stronger by every passing second. Of course without her magic, Alanna was more likely having to visit the healer for hypothermia.
By the time Alanna finally did reach her chambers, she was drenched and frozen to the bone. Every movement felt like she was stabbing herself with pins and needles. She told herself she would just change into some warm clothes and then visit the healer. When she opened her door, she was met by a certain husband of hers swooping her up into a deep embrace. Looking up, she noticed that he had put some mistletoe above the doorway, although she didn’t care. She was so distracted by the wonder of it al that she almost didn’t hear him say, “Come on my love,. Let’s go to the healer to make sure you are okay, and then I think I can come up with a way to keep you warm.”
