It was never cold back on Felis Island, it was always warm or hot, even on the rainiest day I never thought of it as cold.
It gets cold on the Mainland, at first it always seems to get a bit warmer than usual and muggy and wet, but I came to the Mainland after that part, I arrived their when the apples had turned red and were being competed with by bees, worms and of course the boy and I. A month, perhaps more had passed, by this time I wasn't abusing him anymore...
Well I wasn't dropping apples on his head anyway.
I would continue to however physically overpower him at irregular times, sometimes using him as a pillow, sometimes because he tried to snatch my food and run away with it, and sometimes it was honestly just so damn easy I couldn't resist dominating the strange little Straw-head.
Straw-Head, it was the name I gave him, though at that time I was pretty sure he didn't understand what it meant, though after a while he understood that as what I called him. I think he called me Kittygirl, which probably sounded as much like gibberish as Straw-head sounded to him. He was good at ear scratching, I remember that much since that may have been the entire reason I stopped dropping apples on his head (or the apples started running out, whichever), He really acted like a complete basket case though, staring off into space at random times of the day,jabbering at me in that nonsense-speak that didn't even make sense AFTER I learned how to talk like a Main lander and probably worst of all talking and crying in his sleep, if he started screaming I woke him up, and the little freak would hug me, I'd let him despite the fact it meant getting a lot dirtier since Straw-Head was really grubby at that point. We lived together for a while like this, not really knowing each other but taking care of each other nonetheless, until that day.
I had never seen them before then, we didn't get any on Felis Island, so it really came to a shock to me when they fell from the sky, falling might be the wrong word..but I'm getting ahead of myself. I recall the sudden temperature drop lower than even the rainiest morning and making the two of us shiver and huddle together for warmth (and ONLY warmth, Straw-Head wasn't really my type..). It was a little later, and I think that either the Temperature had raised somewhat, I was getting used to the cold or starting to fall into hypothermia when we saw it fall. No we saw it float down, Straw-Head looked at it in delight running out of our small cave and out into the cold, I followed after him yelling.
&Stop it Straw-Head, whatever your doing it's dangero-& I was cut off, at the dazzling sight of the Snowfall, beautiful white crystalline snowfall. Straw-Head giggled a little opening his mouth and lolling out his tongue to let the strange little crystals land on his tongue (At this point I began to notice I was exhaling some strange white vapor, as was Straw-Head.) He looked at me staring at him in complete and total puzzlement and said.
"Snowflake." while pointing at the phenomenon called snowflake surrounding up.
"Suh-noo-flay-ke?" I repeated. He smiled and nodded pointing up at the sky again. "Snowflake."
At that point we heard something crash through the trees, babbling in a low baritone voice, crying and repeating the same word again and again. The two of use scuttled back into the cave before it noticed us. We came out of the cave after a few minutes and the voice had died down. The wind was starting to pick up when Straw-head leapt out of the cave running after the voice.
<"Nyaa Straw-Head stop! It's cold out there!"> I ran after him, pounced and dragged him back into the cave, it was getting colder, the wind was picking up.

We spent the rest of the day in the cave, The loud deep voice hadn't returned, but I wasn't about to let Straw-Head leave the cave, espicially not with that shaking feeling the snowflakes were giving me. By Nightfall I was exhausted with trying to keep him inside where it was safe and warm, So I allowed him to get away, following him, by this time the snow had long since stopped pouring, but it was uncomfortable trying to catch him on all fours in the deep snow so I quickly reverted to walking upright. This slowed me down a lot, how strawhead made it through at all is a mystery to me.
When I finally caught up to him, he was running towards another strange mainlander, yelling in that strange language again.
<"Big Straw-Head?"> His hair and eyebrows certainly looked alike, but this one was a lot larger than the Straw-Head I saw. It was very strange when he embraced him. Straw-Head said something strange, that must've scared the Bigger one when he said it. I followed closely behind them repeating it.
"Hoo arr Yu..Hoo arhh yu.."
