ϡ - Chapter Thirty; Winter Wonderland antics [Voice|Action]
[ Good morning Luceti if you’re in town today, and probably in the surrounding areas as well, you’ll notice some large lumbering pure white figures walking about some might even be flying. No, no, they aren’t harmful in the least, although the creatures they take after might argue otherwise, and they are not yetis or other such things that come out

Because it's now too cold for the TMNT to be going outside to do much of... anything, really, Robert has taken it upon himself to do all the mundane outdoors-requiring-tasks of the household. After all, no sense in them going outside if they can avoid it.
But he certainly doesn't expect to run into the hindquarters of a snowy unicorn. And for once, thanks to Twilight, he can actually identify a mythological creature! ... Albeit he still doesn't know they're mythical, but give him some credit anyway.]
...A ... a unicorn...?
[It only takes a few moments more to realize it's made of snow. Or at least very thoroughly covered in it.]
... What on Terra...?

Robert! [ He'll wave and then come over smiling as he makes note of the scientist's expression. ]

Also, that kappa? That makes him even more curious.]
Helios...? Are you... responsible for these?
...
Are they organic...?
Reply
Oh heavens no! Not at all. Unless you count snow as such. [ Just a smirk. ] Just your average run of the mill snow mythica!
Reply
... "Average, run-of-the-mill snow mythica".
... I... will never be able to conceive how this is either average or run-of-the-mill to you.
[He extends a hand very cautiously, as though even his touch will cause the being - it is very hard not to think of it as an organic - to disintegrate.]
Reply
[ There are much harder spells to preform on inorganic things like snow. Helios watches smiling at Robert's hesitations. ]
It's fine it won't melt or anything, you know. [ Helios gives the unicorn an affirmative pat to prove his point. ]
Reply
[Robert lays his fingers very, very gently against the muzzle of the unicorn, just between the wide, sculpted nostrils. The unicorn snorts a little at the touch, an icy mist spiralling from nostrils that don't actually lead to any kind of respiratory system.]
... Dear gods, Helios. Were I not to know any better, I would... think this an actual organism.
[It's cold, but not melting, against his fingertips. Like holding the headmaster's hand.]
Reply
Oh, please Robert. You give me far too much credit. I'm glad you think so though. I was trying to make them...as close as possible to the original things.
Reply
[It's visually stunning, and Robert can't help but be amazed by his friend's abilities... especially when they come out like this.]
... It must... be fascinating to be able to do this sort of thing. At will. [Robert smiles wryly.] I still cannot even make a connection with the Filial Spirits...
[Though his mun might allow it soon.]
Reply
If you want...I could try helping you contact them.
Reply
[Robert's hand hesitates on the unicorn's snowy neck, before he glances over at the kappa again.]
... I... I would appreciate your help. I have always wanted to learn more about magic...
Reply
And I'll gladly teach you more. Perhaps we can start learning some today if you feel up to it.
Reply
... I would... be delighted, Helios. With... with any luck, perhaps I will finally be able to make some sort of connection...
[At least, he hopes. His mun's put it off long enough.]
Reply
Who knows you might even get able enough to do things like this!
Reply
[Robert watches quietly and intently as the headmaster brings the turtle-like kappa to life, a mixture of curiosity and awe on his features. He looks up at the kappa, into the carved eyes, and feels what almost seems like curiosity in them, too.]
... What species is this...?
[He's never heard the TMNT called "kappa" before.]
Reply
[ Helios turns back to Robert a smile on his face. ]
