[Here is a fully bundled Aerith, blue scarf wrapped loosely around her face as she smiles.]

Speed run! Don't try this at home. I'm a professional.

...Not really. But I've been practicing, and I think I'm getting better!

[This is about all the introduction given before the journal gets set down to show wide open sky, but once Aerith throws

That seems a bit... dangerous.

[gardenerofgaia]

[...emerging from that snow there]

...feels kind of dangerous, too. [omg coooold]

[1week_wizard]

You should probably find yourself a heat source.

[gardenerofgaia]

If only Eferin wasn't so picky...

I'll warm up again. I'll make my own heat. [Or, well. Now rubbing her arms for waaaaaarmth I feel silly describing her actions in this post, what even]

[Video... FOR NOW! XD]

[no_use_running]

[The face in the video is concerned, but it soon dissolves into a smile.]

It looks sort of fun.

[Video... FOR NOW! XD]

[shaking snow off herself, haha--ooowww]

As long as you don't hit anything!

[Ami gives a little gasp.]

You didn't hurt yourself, did you?

[Video... FOR NOW! XD]

[gardenerofgaia]

Not--not bad. It's a little sore. Good thing there's Nala around, right? Even if it's kind of silly to ask help for...

[ Did Lightning really follow Aerith again all the way out here? Yep, and she's got her dog with her too as she strolls up-- just as the other young woman GOES FLYING. ]

-- Aerith?!

[ BRB DROPPING DOG IN THE SNOW AND TRUDGING UP VERY QUICKLY. ]

[gardenerofgaia]

[It is good exercise for the dog--the dog you just dropped in the snow lololol oh Lightning.

Aerith tries to respond, to show she's fine, but... snow. Muffled. Although she sounds awfully annoyed for the moment as she works on extracting herself.]

[thestormishere]

[ Hey, the dog will forgive her. She's carrying food and puppies like him love food; he'll pretty much have to. Also, he's a puppy and ~loves~ her.

And... well, Lightning doesn't have the experience to say for certain, but she doesn't really think Aerith is the type to sound annoyed if she's in actual trouble. The former soldier reaches the... impact site, frowning as she bends to try and help out if she can. ]

Are you alright?

[gardenerofgaia]

[A muffled "rabbit stew" can be heard as Aerith clears the snow off her face before looking up at Lightning, somewhat miffed.] He just froze and wouldn't move! What a silly rabbit.

[chaotic_dirge]

[You wanted shaking one's head from afar... you've got it, in the form of Vincent. He's out on a very long walk when he happens to pause and notice Aerith's... unintended flight.]

[gardenerofgaia]

[Too bad it's hard to identify red blurs upside-down midflight. It takes until Aerith is dusting her shoulders off for it to register who she saw.]

Vincent! [She turns in his direction--a bit too fast for her head, whoo--and gives a small wave, looking sheepish. ...You just had to see it up close, huh?]

[chaotic_dirge]

[Yes. He witnessed every moment of that graceful landing.]

...Are you all right?

[gardenerofgaia]

Oh, a bruised ego and some bumps, what're they? [She'd rather wave it off than fuss too much.] I'll be fine.

[un_faized]

[ Faize stands a little ways off, where he knows he won't be crashed into by a stranger on a sled. His eyes are curious, and yet he shows apprehension, an unwillingness to approach her just yet. ]

[Action]

[gardenerofgaia]

[Said stranger is looking a mite grouchy as she swipes snow off her head, but she pauses at seeing Faize and his curious gaze.] Hello?

[Action]

[un_faized]

What are you doing? [ He approaches, holding out a hand to help the stranger up. ]

[Action]

[gardenerofgaia]

Sledding. Trying to, at least. [She takes his hand, carefully standing up in the snow.] Thanks. What are you doing out here?
