Wallowing? Never! [Open like an open thing.]

Snow Angel had to admit that baking really made her feel better. Despite the fact that her mother, Lavender Sugar, was better at it than she herself would ever be (likely thanks to being a unicorn), the scents of ginger and cinnamon and other spices just had a way of lifting her mood. It was something that most parts of being a weather pony really

"You look lost," a voice from above called.

Having absolved herself of her delivery duty, Snow Angel had been on her way back home when she'd noticed the unfamiliar pegasus pony wandering about beneath her. She landed deftly enough, tilting her head.

She offered him a tentative smile. "You need directions or something? I'm Snow Angel, I live around here, so I can probably give you a hoof, you know?"

[winter_snowny]

That earned him another headtilt, but Snow restrained herself from laughing at him outright.

"You're not from around here, are you? Well, you've stumbled past most of Bridlewood proper, and you're heading towards Bridlewood Drift. That's where I live, my parents have a house there. My mother's got her business there. I was just delivering a mess of cupcakes for her." Snow Angel tossed her head, and grinned.

"So who're you then? Or did you just literally fall out of the sky?" Poor guy seemed so skittish! Well, the least she could do was try to put him at ease.

"You could always come back home with me, have some apple cider and a cupcake, and try to get your bearings," Snow said.

[winter_snowny]

"So? You're lost, I don't see anyone else you seem to know around, or who you seem to know, either. Also, it might not be freezing yet, but it's not the warmest it's ever been in Bridlewood." As if to punctuate Snow's point, the wind gave a gust that ruffled her feathers and knocked her forelock around her face a bit as well.

She shook her head, tossing her mane so it'd manage itself, and snorted a little. "I mean, if you don't want to come, that's fine, it's not like I'm going to make you. I was just trying to help you out. All I wanted to know was your name, but if that's too high a price..."

Snow Angel shrugged. She'd noticed his blank flank already, but since her own cutie mark had taken its sweet time showing up, she wasn't about to point it out. She was turning to move on to her home. Warm apple cider sounded really good.

"You can come along if you want, though." Just to reiterate that. Some stallions could be so hardheaded...

[winter_snowny]

Snow Angel paused for a moment, glancing over her shoulder at him.

"Well, no wonder you're lost." She just shook her head at that. "You can stay over, it's not like the house isn't huge. You probably need a place anyway, right? At least so you're not outdoors. Unless you want to try to find a hotel somewhere, but it was pretty crowded for the movie premiere. I have no idea if you could."

One sigh later, Snow gave him a smile. "It's nice to meet you, anyway, Thundercracker. Don't worry, it'll be okay."

There was a long, slanting path leading up to the Drift, probably for earth and unicorn ponies who lived there. It was that path that Snow Angel headed for, picking up the pace with a swish of her tail.

"Elements of Harmony. It was about the six ponies who defeated the Mane of Midnight. I was there for the opening, but more working than playing, really. My dam was catering part of it, and my sire was helping to make the most of the weather, and I was sort of running back and forth. And then Princess Luna got kidnapped, and, well."

Snow Angel shrugged her shoulders and ducked her head. "Well. I sort of tried to follow the kidnapper, but I got lost. It was...pretty embarrassing, to tell you the truth. I haven't heard anything beyond that, so I hope the princess is all right."

[winter_snowny]

"She is, yes. That's her!" Snow Angel agreed, nodding. She couldn't help but chuckle a little when Thundercracker nudged her.

"You've seen her, then? That's a good thing. I...wasn't very brave, I guess."

Snow Angel reared a little, and then nodded her head at a bungalow style two story house that they were approaching. "That one's mine. I don't know if my parents are home, but it's probably not a big deal if they aren't."

If they weren't they wouldn't ask questions. If they were...well, she'd think of something!

[Cool! I'm also assured she's fine. I'm gonna be a bit slower, gotta cook dinner. :)]

[winter_snowny]

"That's a relief. They may not show around here much but I've never heard a reason to complain about the princesses," Snow Angel said. "I haven't ever really noticed anything good about micromanagement, anyway."

"As for siblings? Not a one. Only child, that's me," Snow Angel said, with a resigned sounding chuckle. She wouldn't have minded a sibling, but it hadn't happened. (Never mind she kept hoping that was a 'so far' and not an absolute.)

She pushed through the door carefully, and trotted towards the kitchen. The house was still redolent with the scents of baking. "Mom? Dad? I'm home!" Snow Angel bellowed.

Not a peep was heard in return.

[winter_snowny]

Snow Angel shook her head. "I guess not. Mom had a catering event tonight, though, so that's no surprise. Dad's probably working late, as usual
