Frost was still in Amaya's coat when Jayde put her hand on it.
It had come through the door with her, a skin of it in the gray fur over her shoulders, and it went to water under Jayde's palm and ran cold between her fingers. The heel of her right hand felt it first, where the scar from the breath was still pink and tight.
Amaya had come in at her own size, which the workshop didn't fit well, and lay along the floor between the bench and the long cabinet with her forepaws crossed and her head up. Her flanks were going like a bellows. She smelled of camphor so strongly that Reiko, who'd been asleep under the bench, got up and went and lay down at the far end of the room with his nose under his tail.
