He smiles a thin wan smile and puts himself back in order. “And I will not let this place have either of us. I am glad if we have to be here it is you by my side.” As in called by that declaration the green shoots grow, spreading their tiny delicate white flowers. Snow melts and Raj sticks close to Quentin.
The urge to leap into the shadows is almost overwhelming. He swallows it down and rises to his feet. All around them branches shake off snow and look a little closer to alive. A pathway cuts itself in between the trees. “I believe it wants us to go that way.”
He doesn’t smile. The fear curls up inside and he forces it down. He is a Prince of Cats. One day he will be a king. This place will not claim the kings to be of two thrones. “Wouldn’t it be novel if we managed to solve this one by ourselves and leave without trouble?”

It’s a vain hope. He keeps it none the less.
