WALKING IN THE SNOW

[heterochromiia]

[ Sollux waits by the teleporter, smelling his breath mist on the air, hoping that Aradia will come. She will, right?

He doesn't notice the little sprig of mistletoe hovering above him. He's got more important things on his mind than just the decorations. ]

[Of course, Aradia had seen Feferi post to the network. All she really knows about is whatever relationship they'd seemed to have back in the Veil- she doesn't know a thing that might've happened when Feferi was on Sacrosanct before. Still, she's feeling fairly awkward and a little bit strange, so when Sollux messages her she thinks she knows why. She doesn't consider, not even for a moment, not showing up. Any time spent with Sollux is precious to her, even if time is without many limits for her.]

AA: of course we can
AA: ill be there right away
AA: ouo
AA: that looks even stupider
AA: <3

[She shows up not long afterwards, dressed for the weather, appearing through the teleporter with a bright smile despite everything. She doesn't really know anything about what kind of effect the mistletoe is giving off, having not experienced it yet, so it also goes unnoticed. Why would she be looking at decorations, anyway?

She offers Sollux a small smile, hands clasped in front of her.]

Hello!

[heterochromiia]

[ Sollux smiles back, but his vascular pump isn't really in it. Feferi has come back. Feferi. Just when he'd started to forgive himself for everything that happened, just when he'd decided maybe it was okay to try again with Aradia-

God, he's the worst person in the world.

He reaches out, takes Aradia's hands in his and squeezes them. ]

...I'm glad you're here.

[destinist]

I'm glad to see you too. [She's certainly not oblivious to the mood in the air, and her smile drops a little- she had been trying to keep things light, but maybe that'll be harder than she thought.]

Um, what's up? What would you like to do today? You can decide where we walk. [She's trying to be tactful about it- obviously he's got some things he needs to tell her, or maybe he'd rather keep quiet about them. It's an invitation he can take either way.]

CAMILLE'S CAFE

[heterochromiia]

[ After a significantly rejuvenating makeout session, Sollux's cheeks are nice and sunny in color as he pulls Aradia into Camille's little cafe, their hands linked together. ]

Camille! You here? There's someone I want you to meet!

[notjelly]

[She pops up from behind the counter in the form of a five-foot-tall four-legged sort of griffin-owl creature. She props her front claws up on the counter and clacks her beak at Sollux.]

Hellooooo, it's my favorite four-horned babby troll! Ooooh, and a troll I don't think I've met yet? Hello, hello, come in come in!

[heterochromiia]

I'm hardly a baby, jeez. Aradia, this is Camille, she's a shapeshifter!

[ Sollux ushers the other troll in and over to the counter, smiling warmly. ]

Camille, this is Aradia. She's one of my oldest friends from Alternia. And my, um- my matesprit!

[ Aaaaand he ducks his head and blushes at saying that last word. ]

[destinist]

Hello! [Aradia peers at the creature. She hasn't really seen anything like Camille before. On Alternia there are of course tons and tons of strange hybrid creatures, except they can't talk, so her staring is more curiousity than anything else.

She manages a nervous little laugh at the way Sollux introduces her, turning slightly red.]

Ah- yeah! It's nice to meet you. [She dips her head a little.]
