[Jim just nodded and kept going, suddenly noticing there was a drop in temperature. Did this crazy kid do something? Must've been him because he's the only person he's seen dressed so warmly and those are the kinds of clothes you wear when it's suddenly this cold. WHAT DID HE DOOOOO]
... Hey. Hey! [He swatted at the boy's shoulder with his free hand as he stopped to look inside a room.] What's all that stuff?
[Jim nearly tripped over his feet and ohgosh this is really cold and wet and he will now wear shoes in the house forever in case something like this ever happens again. His feet were now freezing in this weird white stuff, but the other boy looks annoyed.
But this stuff looks fun, how can he be upset.]
What's snow? Is it all this stuff? [promptly bending over to get some in his hands]
[Shock flashes across Sokka's face, and he lets go of Jim's hand, just briefly, to run over and dust the snow out of one of the chairs. He drags it through the deep snow to the little boy, picks him up with much effort, and sets him in the chair.]
Snow is-- it's like when it rains, but it's super cold! So it all freezes. And then it's snow. But it's not supposed to be inside. Where I come from, it's always snowy.
[He starts pulling off his mittens.]
My house is made of ice, you know!
[Succeeding in freeing his hands--- AAAAUGH he shouldn't have done that, his hands had been sweating and now it's TWICE as cold, no faaaaaair-- he puts the mittens on Jim's feet as makeshift shoes.]
It's SUPER cold, though, and you can get really sick or even really dead if you stay in it too long without wearing the right stuff.
[He pulls his parka off, over his head. He's still got a few layers on underneath, it's not that cold-- but the sudden chill makes him shiver. He takes Jim's hand again and pulls him, gently, from the chair back into the

[Wandering aimlessly has led Hiccup to a cold patch of all things. Drawn to it like a moth to a fire--ironically enough--it's not long before he hears the voices or finds the room in question. The little Viking takes one look into the board room and stops dead in his tracks, his bowl-hat dipped over one eye.]
[Jim was trying to adjust the parka and gosh it's really big and he can't help but giggle, he has mittens on his feets. And then the other boy came running in OHGOD THE CALVARY'S HERE]
[Sokka keeps a grip on the little boy's hand. He doesn't want him getting lost-- this boat is apparently HUGE.]

It's snow! It's SNOW!! Like back home! Maybe it IS home!
[The water tribe boy runs into the room, dragging Jim behind him. There's a table, and chairs, and serious-looking snowmen. He snorts, annoyed.]
It's just a stupid room.

[Sokka scoffs. Five-year-olds are dumb.]
It was here when we got here-- it's not like it's been snowing inside or anything, though....
[Pause.]
Your name's Hiccup, right?

WHYYYY would the Gods decide to make it snow INSIDE?!
[THIS IS AWESOME.]
That makes no sense! I mean. They had to be DRUNK or really really REALLY bored.
[He turns to Sokka with a grin.]
Hey, Southern Water! Who's that baby?
[He points at Jim.]
