VI

[chosengigolo]

[Zelos had been spending the evening in a few of the taverns in the red-light district, getting to know the lovely ladies that lived in the city. But he decides, for whatever reason, to call it an early night and starts heading back towards the castle...and it's around that time, while he's checking the journal as he walks across the castle grounds

-- Zelos!

[And that? That is the sound of an over-eager girl calling at you from halfway across the grounds, Zelos. She is not dressed for the weather change, but she really could not seem to possibly care less, even as she bounds over to him and calls again:]

Zelos!

[Her voice is buoyant with delight.]

It's snowing!

1/2

[chosengigolo]

Katara?

[For a moment he's looking at her like she grew a second head. Lady why aren't you wearing a coat and why are you so excited about this junk-]

[chosengigolo]

[-- oh right because it reminds her of home and she mentioned that. And since he rather not...dump his issues on her, he'll throw up a casual grin]

Oh yeah, guess they were right about it snowing in December! Heh.

[kyasdaughter]

I'm glad! I've been to the seasons room, but it's not - it's not real, it's nothing like this.

[The snowfall had blindsided her, caught her entirely by surprise. This enthusiasm is completely earnest, and she catches Zelos's sleeve to keep herself from bowling him over.]

What are you doing out so late, anyway?

[demontobeloved]

You sound like one of the many people who dislikes snow.

[Cole's voice is nothing but a lazy drawl as it filters over the journal]

Dictated

[chosengigolo]

[Oh right, journal was open]

What can I say? It's not really my thing.

[demontobeloved]

Tell me about it.

[A contented sigh comes from the journal] I prefer to just sit by a fire in weather like this.

[Boring, yes. But winter and christmas came with mulled wine, and he'll be damned if he's letting it get cold.]

[chosengigolo]

Do you do that all winter?

dictated

[glubbingly]

It is!
Isn't it absolutely fintastic?

dictated

[chosengigolo]

[Fin...must be an accent thing]

Heh, it's...something alright!

[glubbingly]

You don't sound like you like it very muc)(.
T)(oug)( I'm not really sure w)(at t)(e porpoise of snow is.

dictated

[chosengigolo]

It's just not my thing.

The purpose? I dunno, just something that happens when it's cold.

[materialblade]

[The soft noise of footsteps squeaking against the wet stone is the only warning Zelos has before a snowball FLIES FOR HIS HEAD. The culprit is, for the moment, exposed. And it's none other than a kid in red he knows very well.]

Think fast!

[chosengigolo]

[Not fast enough! He turns to see that it's Lloyd right before a snowball hits the side of his head! ]

H-Hey! Aren't you supposed to say that before you thrown?!

[materialblade]

[Lloyd cracks up. Zelos' face is priceless. He manages to shrug, at least.]

Oops, I forgot.

[Are you SURE you want this jerk for a friend?]

[chosengigolo]

Yeah, sure.

[Forever and ever! For some reason]

Aren't you up past your bedtime, bud?

[shutupweiss]

That what this is called?

[chosengigolo]

The white stuff? Yep, it's snow.

[shutupweiss]

It fucking sucks, whatever it is.

[ Yep, she's polite. ]

[chosengigolo]

[Honestly? It's a breath of fresh air next to all the I LOVE SNOW types for him]

What? You're not enchanted by it's whiteness and coldness?
