[Zeke's out on the steps of the castle, smoking a smoke, looking just like this, facial hair and all. Hey, boy's been too lazy to shave, alright?

He'll blow some smoke away from the journals, dictating as usual.]This is pretty much what the winters looked like back home. Mounds and mounds of snow, air chilling you to the bone. The skies were gray

[Stepping out, she's one of those chicks who's opted to raid her guy friends' closets instead of persist with corsets and crinoline (once was enough. Honestly.), so have her in this]

[After seeing Zeke, she'll stoop and grab a handful of snow, hoping he won't notice her trying to make pack it together in what is her closest approximation of a snowball]

[impermissible]

[Not at all, dear! He'll just be looking down, flicking some ashes... Thinking about a giant olive-- WHAT?]

[brdskllwarrior]

[Okay, her snow-packing skills need serious work, but her aim is spot on. Hurling snowballblob at your back now!]

[impermissible]

[NGG-- NO, HIS CIGARETTE! He drops it from the surprise attack, immediately straightening his posture and looking around...]

H-hey! [Staring at you, 7. Except not really all that pissed. Just another victim of a snowball attack.]

[brdskllwarrior]

[Smiling, quite pleased with herself,]

Congratulations. You were the recipient of my first snowball.

[impermissible]

[He can't help but laugh, not even making any indication of dusting the fluff off his back, walking toward 7 with a hand right up.]

Okay, guess that deserves some props. [Highfive?]

[brdskllwarrior]

[Okay, high fives, another new thing, pretty self explanatory? She'll get it, but perhaps awkwardly. Not ... so much into the physical interaction with other people she only kind of knows]

[impermissible]

There we go. [A grin, and he'll lower his hand, if only to pat 7's shoulder all encouragingly.] How have you been?

[brdskllwarrior]

[She'll try not to freeze at that, but her smile will fade a little. Despite all the fun she's been having discovering snow and cookies and cocoa, it's still been a hard time for her.] Holding up. I've really been enjoying the weather, but ... my brother and my best friend both went home, recently.

[But she's trying not to dwell on that, so she'll give a little headshake and look up at Zeke,] How about you?

[impermissible]

That sucks. [Obviously, Zeke. Try harder.] At least you got me to keep you company. It's not a whole lot better than two important people, but. You know. At least you got someone who'll be there for you. If you need it.

[That's... really not all that much better and he knows he sucks at it, but luckily enough, hey, look at that subject change. Get!] Chillin' like a villain. Which is... pretty much just not really doing anything of real consequence, just enjoying what I can.

[brdskllwarrior]

[You know what? She appreciates the attempt, and it does get a little smile out of her.[ Thanks. I'll keep that in mind.

[Ooooh yes, she has mastered the subtle art of SUBJECT CHANGE GET! 7 laughs,] Hey, as long as it makes you happy, right? [She couldn't imagine not doing anything!]

[impermissible]

[He'll nod at the mutual respect between them, happy if he's cheered her up in the slightest, because-- hey, that's what he's here for. Well, not really, but being an overall good person? He'll certainly try.]

That's all that really matters here. [Shrug.] If we're going to be stuck here for however long, we might as well enjoy it without bothering too many people.

[brdskllwarrior]

[Nodding,] Right. The castle throws enough crazy at us without having to worry about each other on top of it.

[impermissible]

For serious. [HEH.] Any good crazy you've been faced with lately?

[brdskllwarrior]

[A pause, quirks a little smile,] I have to admit, being human this time of year hasn't been quite so bad.

[impermissible]

Indeed. You get to have all the warm fuzzies, sip on the hot chocolate... Fun times.
