A Frostry Night

Hello, and yeay! *g* It's like that here too, I wish I could go out in it instead of just looking out over houses... though I get the sky, too! Okay, let's see what I can do...

It was sharp-cold in the field, and jagged of edge. Pricks of frost glinted and crunched when Bodie moved, though they couldn’t move far, not when they were on obs.

Watching, always watching.

A still cold, then, holding its breath, waiting for the sun to launch into the sky and blaze ever more fiercely, for the frost to melt and the day to begin.

Before him the horizon slowly washed silver, shone copper and bronze.

Beside him, Doyle shifted slowly, lifted his head. “I’m sorry,” he said.

At last.

Frost crunched as Bodie moved, and the sun began to shine.

ooh thank you!

silver, shone copper and bronze. I love these colours, with their metallic cold.

and the screencap (bonus!) is perfect for the drabble, that does look like a frosty morning, and maybe Doyle's "I'm sorry" is about Ann, but maybe something else entirely.

Very clever idea! :D
I love how frost refers both to the weather and Doyle. :)

Poor Bodie. He's got frost from more than one place. I'm glad it worked out!
