Winter isn't Vent's favourite month, admittedly. Everything becomes so cold that it becomes
significantly harder for her to stretch, her rubbery body becoming more brittle and tight. Still,
her ever-present anger keeps a fire lit inside that's enough to warm her even in the most freezing
of forests, as such the feisty festive feline decided she would take a stroll through the local wood.

Whilst out, she came across somebody else in need of heating up... As well as teasing. Seeing them
shiver as they aimlessly wandered looking for shelter she knew what she must do; shapeshifting into
the warmest, softest object she could think of, she splayed herself out in his path, waiting for the
perfect oppurtunity~

Sym didn't know what to think when his paw met with the sound of squeaking vinyl over crunching snow
but he felt a great deal of relief, it took only a minute for him to wriggle inside of what was a curiously moist
sleeping bag. But upon getting comfortable within the amber confines of the cot, a zipper closed up behind him
as the cushiony cocoon-- Sat up?

"Nyahaha! I bet you're scared outta your wits, loser! Better get comfy inside my terrifyin' tummy 'cause you're
gonna be in there for a while..!"
Vent exclaimed excitedly, as she believed that they now had the perfect 'victim' to torment and scare; although in
reality all of her 'spooky jostling' was just causing rhythmic, pleasant movements within, massaging the lion as he
took some time to enjoy the cradling before falling into a deep, unintentionally pleasant, slumber~~
