Snow clung to her fur as she trudged along, making it soggy and damp. Dova muttered angrily, annoyed with the winter season. She really didn't understand why others enjoyed it so much. What was so great about it? Laughter, joy, warm feelings... she shuddered. Such... such... she couldn't bring herself to say it. She felt nauseous just thinking about it. Shaking her head to rid herself of such a horrid feeling, she continued on, still cursing the snow. She heard chattering above her, and looked up to see two birds cuddling each other. She hissed, sickened by the sight.
''Can't you two LOVEBIRDS do that somewhere ELSE? It's really ANNOYING.''
The birds turned towards her, offended by the comment. One of them stuck out their tongue and blew a raspberry at her.
''WHY I OUGHTA...''
She lunged towards them growling, the birds flew off in a hurry, frightened.
''Yah, THAT'S RIGHT, FLY AWAY COWARDS!!''
A pile of snow fell on top of her head, and she grumbled.
''HATE this weather, HATE this stupid season...''

Tartarus was napping, almost happily, in a pine tree. The thick needles and heaped snow insulated his branch quite well and muffled all the obnoxious sounds that typically plagued him.
When a low, growling, feminine voice managed to drag him from his lethargy, he stretched slowly; not yet opening his eyes. He subconsciously debated simply rolling over and going back to sleep... but the sound of angry, female frustration was somehow irresistible.
He wondered if he could make it worse.
Arching slowly, Tartarus peered out of his tree and saw a multiple-tailed kitsune under a nearby tree, miserably shaking the snow from her ears. Leaning down below the needles, he lazily blinked the sleep from his eyes and couldn't help a smirk at the sight she presented. He dug his back claws in on his branch and braced his front claws below him on the trunk, with his chin resting on his forepaws.
"You know, sweetheart, attacking the trees this time of year will get you hit with snow every time. The unfortunate thing is the tree can't laugh at you while it buries you."
He cocked his head slightly to the side, lazy grin widening.
"Aren't you glad I'm here to laugh on behalf of the poor trees?"

Dova looked up to see a wish in the tree smirking at her as she brushed snow off her fur, dampening it more.
Great. she though. Something else to piss me off today.
When she finished grooming herself and getting most of the unsightly snow out, she turned her attention back to the wish and put on the sweetest face she could possibly manage.
''Why thank you, kind sir. It would be terrible for the trees to not have their daily mocking of my misfortune.''
Disgusted, she shot him a dirty look and huffed, turning her backside towards him. She began to walk off, rolling her eyes as she did so. Why must she be surrounded by idiots?
She shook her head and sighed.
Good help was SO hard to find.

"Daily mocking... you do this frequently then? That doesn't speak well for your intelligence, madam."
He paused. On second thought...
"Or perhaps speaks too well for your temper."
'Kind sir?' Oh good grief. The lady was something else~
Tartarus rolled his own eyes as the kitsune stalked off. That hadn't been worth the effort of waking. With a bored sigh, he clawed down to a thinner, more exposed branch and draped himself over it. He noticed some squirrels racing through the trees and had vague visions of them dropping more snow on the prickly female as he started to drift back to sleep.

Her ears twitched as soon as the words left the wish's mouth. She gritted her teeth, trying to keep from spitting insults at him. The nerve! A lowly wish, mocking her!
She hadn't felt so agitated before, as SHE was the one often causing agitation and pain. She blamed it on the weather. Of course. Who wouldn't be in a foul mood from this stupid, wet cold season?
An idea slowly crept into her mind, and she regained her posture, lips slowly curling up into a smile. Just because this season made her irritable, didn't mean it couldn't irritate others as well.
Turning her head slightly, she noticed the wish had shifted to a lower branch, beginning to drift off to sleep. Her smile widened into a grin. Perfect...
Carefully scooping up some snow with one of her tails, she slowly formed it into a snowball, and took aim, making sure she would hit the wish square in the face.
Mock ME, why don't you... she thought. Well, I'll show YOU!

Waking up to a forcefully applied face full of snow had not been on The Agenda.
If fact, little besides sleep had been on The Agenda.
Tartarus scrambled frantically to remove the snow from his nose and eyes;
but the branch he was on was not wide enough to get a good claw in on.
Unwilling to allow his pride to be further bruised, he launched himself off
the branch... only to hiss venomously at the deep, cold snow he landed in.
On his feet, he was a feline after all---and he did have his Pride.
But he was still half-blind and -now- he was wet and cold.
And it was all that Meddling. Vixen's. Fault.
Ears laid back flat against his head, the wish stalked over toward his
unwelcome companion, furiously shaking the snow from his coat.
"Did you have a point to ruining my day as well? Is your ire sated?
I am now also cold and wet and significantly more miserable than I
was before you bumbled under my tree cursing a witless pair of birds."
By the end of his [slightly over-blown] tirade, Tartarus was nearly nose-to-nose
with the still-unnamed kitsune... but he was [thankfully] restraining further outbursts.

His reaction only brought a smile to her face, and watching his frantic and clumsy attempt of removing the snow from his face, causing him to come down from the tree branch made her stifle a snicker. By the time he had stalked over to her and spat a mouthful of bitter complaints about the cold wet snow in his fur, she had already broken out into full-out laugh, having to wipe a tear from her eye with one of her tails.
"My my, didn't we wake up on the wrong side of the bed today." she snickered, watching him huff angrily at her. She straightened up and looked him in the eye, noses almost touching.
"Yes, quite so." she smiled. "It wouldn't be nice of me to keep all that misfortune to myself."
Plopping down on her hindquarters, she curled her tails around herself, using one to lift the wish's chin up, so that the two saw eye to eye.
"Say... I never did get your name. Care to enlighten me? And... this look quite suits you more," she smirked, watching snow and water drip off his sullen face. "Much better than that snooty attitude."
