After a full day of frolicking out in the cold, Kaylee had a mind to warm herself up with a good drink. Being as she'd wandered closest to Bar Hades, she decided it was as good as anyplace to drop in for a drink. She paused at the door when she spied Lyle, and quietly scooped up some of the snow quickly piling up next to the door.

As she twinkle-toed in she noticed the pronounced slump in Lyle's shoulders and had momentary second thoughts about dumping snow on his head. But then her arms decided for her, and she ruffled the white fluff into his hair with a chipper "Hey stranger!"

Lyle had just started to feel warm and tingly thanks to the rum, when all of sudden, his hair was cold and sopping.

"Jesus H. Christ!!!" He cursed, along with a variety of other colorful swears under his breath. "God damn it what the-" He spun around and saw Kaylee, closing his eyes and shaking his head with a long sigh. "Thanks, hon. Cause, ya know, there really just wasn't enough snow outside." His voice was sarcastic and slightly on edge, but he didn't want to kill her for her little sneak attack. That was always a plus.

"Been busy in the snow, I take it...?" He said as he flicked some ice out of his long brown hair.

She was pretty used to hearing a string o' cusses for breaking unpleasant surprises, so at first she wore a bit-back smile at his reaction, but the sting in Lyle's voice made her hesitate to move next to him. "'Nuff fer you, I guess," replied Kaylee, her tone a little huffy but her face apologetic.

She plopped onto the bar stool next to Lyle and made a peace offering of napkins. "Can't 'member the last time I been planetside with the white stuff everywhere. Lotta the border worlds don't got it, either too hot t'start out with or the terraformin' screws up the natural weather too much." Her hands got an itching to tease some of the melting clumps out of his pretty hair, but she settled her chin in them to keep them still.

"What 'bout you? Don't look like you been havin' much fun."

"Nah..." He gratefully took the napkins and patted his head dry. "It's just that the snow reminds me of my sister a lot. Come to think of it, the way you're playing around reminds me of her too." This time, he cracked a small smile, before taking a long swig of his rum.

"Don't mind me, Kaylee. It's just been a long few weeks, with a whole lot of nothing. Don't let me ruin your fun."

"Pfff, no power in the 'verse could ruin my fun." OK that was a little fib, but she didn't feel like letting herself get brushed off so Lyle could soak a spell in his pity-pool. "An' anyway I'm all snowed out fer t'day."

Kaylee waved to the bartender to order a beer. "You wanna talk about it? Or you wanna teach me some a these Chris'mas songs I been hearin' the other offworld folk singing?"
