Acernis braced himself against the cold snow and started to succumb to the possibility that he would not survive the freeze. He had just about given up all hope when a sudden warmth enveloped him. Had he the ability to look around, he would have seen a strange creature bent over his small stature, cloaking the two of them with a warm coat. Acernis twitched his branches in delight. The warmth seemed to come with some sort of energy that was driving him insane. The kind being that had save him stayed until the storm was over, collapsing a mere few inches from the tiny sapling.
As the last snowflakes began to fall, so did the eyes of the creature near Acernis. Soon, it was asleep, weary with the exhaustion of holding a cloak for so long. The coat that had saved Acernis slowly cascaded off his tiny branches and he was left partially exposed. The sudden cool are was an unwelcome shock that forced the tiny sapling into his plantoid form. Acerins wrapped his arms around himself, grasping at both his elbows tightly to retain whatever heat he had left and quickly scrabbled under the coat once more.
No longer a tiny sapling, the coat did little to cover his entire body, let alone that of his rescuer and himself together. Acernis lifted the cloth just enough to study the face of the one who saved him. Immediately, he was greeted with that powerful energy. Excited, Acernis pulled the coat completely off the slumbering creature and rubbed it against his face, desperate for more. He let out a soft giggle of delight that was quickly extinguished when he realized the coat had no more special properties than dead leaves. Frustrated, Acernis threw the coat onto the blanket of snow and examined his rescuer once more. He drew his face closer so that it was mere inches from the creature's. Whatever the energy was, it was coming from him. More specifically, from his breath. Every exhale was coated with an intoxicating elixir that Acernis could not get enough of. He brought himself even closer, desperate for more of whatever the chemical was. The leaves at the top of his head perked up in ecstasy, and he let out a soft moan of delight as he closed his four eyes.
