And the first thing that happens when Jade opens the door, other than being greeted by the sight of Peony in a MASSIVE pile of blankets (growing up in Keterburg means nothing after you get used to Grand Chokmah), is the sudden lunging of that mass that has every intention of taking Jade down.

In order to absorb him into that mass.

"Not in the least!" Clearly. There is absolutely no indication whatsoever that Peony's cold. Really. "I had all of this set up just for you, you know." Okay, he's full of crap. He's cold and he's concealing his whining until he's sure he has Jade securely in his blanket-mass to cuddle for heat. Funny, since Jade's really pretty scrawny, but another body is always good to have around for that!
