My extremities were so cold that I could no longer feel them, but I supposed that if I took an average of my entire body, I’d’ve said I was warm. So I kept walking.
“How long ‘til we get there?”
I shrugged. I didn’t know, so it was better to keep walking than make up some arbitrary number to keep this child entertained.
“Hey! I asked you a question!”
I stopped, squatted down and looked the little girl straight in the eye.”
“As long as it takes for a hufflufugus to turn into a minipony.”
“Ohhhhhh.”
And we kept walking.
