[Mia's enthusiasm is simple and direct.]

It's snowing!

[something she hasn't seen since that brief detour to the southern tip of the world. It makes her miss home like nothing else. That won't stop her from throwing on her heavier cloak and standing outside in the light snowfall, hands extended as if to catch the flakes.]

It's really snowing! I wonder

[Terra's standing around outside, peering up at the snowflakes drifting down. She lifts her hand to catch them, a small smile on her lips.]

[frost_jewel]

[Mia has two memories of Terra. One of sitting and talking on the bridge, and one of...something else. Something that won't clearly show up in her head.

Let's stick with the better one. She'll walk over with a similar smile]

It is beautiful, isn't it?

[heavenslament]

[She glances over and nods.]

Yes, it is. It makes me feel a little nostalgic...for a place from home.

[Strange. Narshe hardly gave her the best of memories, and yet the snow gave her a powerful desire to see it again.]

[frost_jewel]

I feel that way, too.

[Her smile gets a little warmer as the memories from the bridge all come back]

You seem to be feeling better.

[heavenslament]

[She smiles sheepishly at that.]

I'm glad everything is back to normal...and thank you for helping me, earlier. I really needed that.

[frost_jewel]

There's no need. I'm just glad it helped.

[heavenslament]

[There's a soft nod, and then she stares up at the snow again.]

It's odd, isn't it? It felt like everything was lost, a few days ago, and now...it's so peaceful. Like nothing ever happened.

[frost_jewel]

Yes. ...Do you think forgetting would do us all the most good?

[heavenslament]

[Terra shakes her head.]

No, I don't. They weren't the best of memories, but they're still ours. It's important to remember the bad as well as the good.

[frost_jewel]

[She likes the way you think, Terra.]

I agree. And it seems like everyone is all right.

[heavenslament]

Thankfully, yes.

[She crouches down brief to scoop up some snow...not for snowball fight purposes, though, since that just doesn't seem to occur to her. Instead, she crumples it and watches it drift back down.]

I heard someone talking about snow sculptures, but I don't think there's enough just yet.

[frost_jewel]

No, it isn't very deep right now. But it may be, soon.

[heavenslament]

I hope so. Will you make anything?

[frost_jewel]

I never had much time to become good at making things out of snow. Just the average snow person.

[heavenslament]

[She nods sheepishly.]

I haven't had time to become good at that, either, but...I want to try. At least, to make a snow moogle.

[frost_jewel]

A what? Is that a monster?
