The temperatures in New York were rapidly dropping as November lagged on.  Gargoyles were reasonably comfortable to certain temperature extremes, but the last few nights were slowly starting to push it.  Especially with the winds and actual snowfall that was accumulating.

Still, the winds were strong enough for gliding and it was a nice enough night

She sat there with her head on his shoulder for a moment, then stirred and stifled a yawn as her old coping mechanism for long boring storms tried to kick in. Little wonder that she was a master of sleeping while not stone.

"Listen to the wind scream. It sounds nearly like a voice."

Lex nodded. "We had some bad winters in Scotland, but this is pretty nasty too."

She listened a little more, but then relaxed and made a little snuggling motion. "It is only the wind. We are safe."

Lex, not really knowing what else to say, simply leaned into the snuggle.

Dawn had come, and when Icy and Lexington had not returned to the castle, Xanatos had dispatched Bruno and the other members of his security force--some of the few trusted with the secret that the Gargoyles roosted on the castle--in order to locate them.

It had taken some time, it was nearly noon, but the storm had eventually abated enough that searching could prove effective. The two had been located and with the utmost care, returned to the castle, frozen in an embrace.

Soon enough, the sun would set...

Icy tilts her head and looks at him, then stifles a giggle. Said giggle turns to embarrassment as her own stomach takes that moment to speak up for itself.

"Oh!"

"You wanna go grab something, Icy?" Lex said. "I... can make waffles."

[random_xtras]

"I like waffles." She gives him a hopeful grin. "May I help you make them?"

[elisas_clan]

Lex smiled. "Sure thing!"
