Accidental video (he's prone to these, okay?)

[stayb100ponyboy]

[The video feed crackles on, showing an angled view of the fourth district, near the elevator construction. It looks like the SFC has been dropped on the ground, and then jostled until it turned on... perhaps it was jostled by that blue, warking streak of chocobo demon that just ran past

[the video on this side shows a slightly grouchy, pink-nosed and red-cheeked Jim, burrowing into a thick new sweater. Damn it, guys, he comes from a desert planet, what the hell is this cold.]

... how are you not freezing to death?

[stayb100ponyboy]

[Oh hai, Jim! Equius can't help but smirk a little at the well-bundled human.]

I'm used to it. It got very cold where I grew up.

[Also, this is about the only weather where he doesn't sweat profusely.]

[myowncourse]

So, it's not a troll thing, it's a you thing?

[He is so jealous of your inability to feel the cold. So jealous.]

[stayb100ponyboy]

It's a me thing. Most of the other trolls didn't grow up in the same place I did, so they're not used to it either.

[myowncourse]

You're lucky. Montressor gets cold sometimes, but I've never seen snow like this.

1/2

[stayb100ponyboy]

You should come make snowtrolls in it!

2/2

[stayb100ponyboy]

I mean... yeah, snow's not that bad.

[myowncourse]

S-snow trolls?

How old are you?

[stayb100ponyboy]

Six. Why?

[myowncourse]

[fdgh he chokes.]

Six years?

[Cause, uh, dear buddy, dear pal, you don't look like the average six year old he knows. Maybe one on steroids.]

[stayb100ponyboy]

No, six solar sweeps.

I think a sweep is about... two of your human years? Maybe a little more?

[myowncourse]

Okay, so twelve.

[He is still staring, cause dang, you don't look like any twelve year old he has ever seen.]

Hah. So you are younger than me. Surprising.

[stayb100ponyboy]

No, twelve doesn't sound right. I think I'm a little older than that? Thirteen, fourteen, somewhere in there?

[Curse you humans and your obtuse time-keeping systems!]

How old are you?

[myowncourse]

I'm turning sixteen two months from now. November 23rd.

[stayb100ponyboy]

So about seven and a half sweeps, eight sweeps then.

[Equius didn't realize they were so close in age!]

Well, the offer still stands, if you want to come make snowtr... snowhumans, I'll show you how.

[myowncourse]

Just so you know, if I freeze my hands off, I am so not building a solar surfer with you.

[a pause and then a faint grin.]

Where are you?
