Elizabeth had kept mostly to the Compound and her home during the majority of the month, as she suspected many of the other island residents had. While she'd dealt with colder weather, she much preferred the mild weather that Lantea provided.
Still, in the spirit of Christmas Eve, she couldn't very well spend her day huddled away in her home. She might have regretted the decision to take a walk through the snow, given the persistent cold of the island, but she had not gotten far before she encountered a younger woman.
Some time while the girl--who had to be almost half Elizabeth's age--had been zipping around, tossing snow and excitedly chattering about it, Elizabeth found herself teaching the younger woman a few snow tricks.
The snow men had been easier than she remembered from her youth, but the lesson in snow angels drove them inside, seeking warmth and cider. The young woman--Aeris Gainsborough--spoke of her home, and the city plate above that blocked out any sort of weather. Elizabeth couldn't help but wonder whether the city were a stationary form of the Atlantean city ships, while the younger woman once again rushed outside to spend further time out in the snow.
While Elizabeth chose only to observe the second time around, she was nearly as grateful for the warmth of the Compound once they returned again, as Aeris appeared to be. The clothing box cooperated in offering a suspiciously blanket-esque coat for Aeris, but the younger woman still shivered through her bright smile.
As they entered the rec room, Elizabeth glanced over with a soft smile and brought up a hand to interrupt a dialog about winter Chocobo. "Let me make you some tea. Perhaps the bookcase might provide something to help illustrate the differences between the...Chocobo?"
Aeris nodded, and glanced toward the bookcase. "Alright...maybe it will offer a Chocobo breeding guide!"
