Outside, there is a figure standing near the edge of the lake with arms folded.

It's December, now, and it's cold.

There's some snow on the ground and the sky is grey, threatening to lay a fresh coat of white on the ground below at any moment.

Nick's

Not too far away, there's a kid who's glad that he came to Milliways with his coat and gloves on.

It's too early for snow yet at home, but there's snow here and he's playing with it quietly, though he does seem to be talking to himself.

...his mother said he shouldn't, since it makes him look lonely, but she's not here and he is lonely, so he figures it should be okay. It's not as if any of the neighbors were here, after all.

Nero is first to catch sight of the boy and he trots over slowly, sniffing at the air.

He's a very friendly wolf, so he sits nearby, looking curious.

Timmy turns to see who's walked over... and startles himself right onto his backside.

Then he smiles and reaches out a hand.

"Hi, boy. What're you doing out here? Are you from out in the woods?"

Nero sniffs at the hand, then paws at it.

He smells friendly!

In response to the boy's question, he glances back at Nick, who hasn't moved from his spot.
