Hal trudged along, "this is not a good way to start the morning" he thought. Hal had been the last person to get up that morning and so had only had a quick breakfast, he was grateful for the rest he'd got though, looking around, not everyone had been as lucky as him.

Hal soon found himself wishing for the warmth and comfort of the inn, his feet were frozen and numb. The view was white, white as far as the eye could see, Hal looked down at his feet and stumbled on.

"I-I'm f-f-freezing" said a shivering Gaddy beside him. Gaddy was up to his knees in snow, even though he was swaddled in his thick cloak his lips were still blue and he was dropping behind, they were already at the back of the group.
"Do you want to go up with Bullroarer on his cart?" asked Daisy, seeing Gaddy's cold face.
"Y-yes p-please." he said trying not to shiver and giving Daisy a small smile.

"Hey Bullroarer!" called Hal, "We've got another one for your cart!"
"Bring them up here then!" Bullroarer called back. Hal plucked up Gaddy out of the snow and carried him up to the front of the group where Bullroarer was, he placed Gaddy down on the back of the cart while it was trundling along. Gaddy immediately seemed to get some of his usual life back and delved under the bags and supplies, burying himself so only his face showed.
"Just don't lose yourself in there." said Hal,
"I'll try not to." said Gaddy smiling his usual cheeky little smile, his face already regaining some of it's colour.
