[The nights were getting somewhat shorter, yes, but they were still long. And dark. And after more than a few months of this, he was just feeling depressed. But you'll find him in a wool Icelandic sweater in the corner with a mug of hot chocolate, trying to convince you he's perfectly fine, mmyep. Not even preparations for Eurovision were pulling

Did your puffin run away?

[He quickly stopped acting surprised. That'd be suspicious.]
He didn't run away, he likes to wander.
Reply
[Nope. He's not fooled at all.]
Then why are you looking so depressed this time?
Reply
[Don't worry, he's still hoping optimistically in that regard.]
...I'm not looking depressed.

[He can pretend if it makes him feel better.]

[Don't make him have to threaten offer to leave you in the hole with it.]
Oh? Then what are you doing?

I'm... drinking hot chocolate, what does it look like I'm doing?

Are you? To me, it looks like you're arguing with me, instead. Must be a perspective thing.

[He looks a little forlorn. More than he already did had been accused of looking, anyway.]
Oh, does that make it sound nicer or something?
Reply
[He's just giving him a hard time. And does he need to make him smile? Because he'll hold up his cheeks if he has to.]
Yes it does. It makes it sound less harsh.
Reply
[Like he'd do that. He'd be pinning him to the ground and letting the trolls pull his cheeks up. Or something.]
And that's important why...? [It seemed a silly thing to nitpick over. But there was Ice's brother relative for you. Most of the time, he just didn't understand the guy in general. Have an eye-roll at your silliness, Nor.]
