What in God's name-- [Arthur pauses on the path, gazing down a slope some paces ahead. The ground's covered in snow, but something about the way it reflected light seems off. He frowns and bends forward, swiping a finger through it. His eyes widen. He tastes it.] Why, it's--sugar.

[On a bench is an abandoned snowboard. He cautiously approaches it

Oh Snowboard-kun! That's my snowboard you're doing inappropriate things with!

[swindlescent]

I didn't know you even owned a snowboard, Niou-kun.

[puritend]

There are many things you don't know about.

Me owning a snowboard for instance.

[swindlescent]

I suppose that is true...

[puritend]

And here's another interesting fact.

I'm part of the female species.

[swindlescent]

I know for a fact that that fact is false.

[puritend]

And how do you know that?

[misterunionjack]

[He waves and calls,] Is it yours? My apologies, my good fellow. Allow me a moment to remove these straps and I'll bring it back to you.

[puritend]

Why thank you. You are quite hospitable.

[misterunionjack]

You're welcome! I am, after all, a gentleman. Just a moment.

Bleeding straps won't ahh-- [He loses his balance.] My effing back... Christ. Now I've got sugar in my hair.

[puritend]

A gentleman? Well, I happen to know a gentleman.

[misterunionjack]

[He shakes his head, grumbling. Then turns back to the straps.]

Where from?

[puritend]

A gentleman from Japan. Quite a hospitable fellow if I do say so myself.

[misterunionjack]

A good gentleman is a hospitable one, yes. Here's your snowboard; thanks for lending it to me. Was jolly nice of you.
