[Mia's enthusiasm is simple and direct.]

It's snowing!

[something she hasn't seen since that brief detour to the southern tip of the world. It makes her miss home like nothing else. That won't stop her from throwing on her heavier cloak and standing outside in the light snowfall, hands extended as if to catch the flakes.]

It's really snowing! I wonder if it will stay.

[frost_jewel]

[No, she won't fall over. It's just startling. You prankster.]

You just surprised me. [See? Smiling] Hello.

[bamfing]

[Fair enough. Relaxing then and then glancing up at the snow.]

Hey. So... I take it you like the new weather, yeah?

[frost_jewel]

This is new for you? ...It's home, for me.

[bamfing]

Nah, this is just winter for me. I take it you just have this all year, yeah?

[frost_jewel]

Just about. I have seen much of the rest of the world, though. Temperate and tropical weather are beautiful too.

[bamfing]

I like my temperate weather. A little cold weather, a little hot weather, but never too much at once.

[frost_jewel]

I think that maybe autumn is as beautiful as the snow.

[She is so teasing you.]

[bamfing]

Spring's better. It comes just as you start getting sick of the snow. [He can dish it out too.]

[frost_jewel]

We were never in one place long enough to see a full spring.

[bamfing]

Well, if you get stuck here long enough, maybe you will. [Not necessarily a good thing. But you know.]

[frost_jewel]

...Yes. Maybe I will.

[She looks rather sad for a minute. Piers is gone, and it's snowing. She wants to go home too.]

[bamfing]

Yeah... [He wonders if she's just nostalgic or if something is bothering her. Hm.] So ahh... how's things been?

[frost_jewel]

Oh...things have been all right. At least, after all of that holiday...confusion.

...I'm...Piers left.

[bamfing]

[... Piers. The one she lived with. Oh Mia.]

Ah... I'm sorry, Mia. Is it just you now?

[frost_jewel]

Amiti is also from my world. He is...thirty years in the future.

It's all right, though. [a sad smile, but it is a smile] Our friends need him.

[bamfing]

They need you too. You'll get your turn eventually. [Though who knows how long that will be. Kurt thought his would come up a long time ago.]

[frost_jewel]

I know. Don't worry, Kurt, I am patient.

[bamfing]

Good, good. Because you need that here! Especially if you're wanting enough snow to actually do anything with.

[He catches a few flakes in his hand, but they melt at the touch.]

Well, this is a start at least.

[frost_jewel]

It must always start somewhere.

What did you want to do with it?

[bamfing]

Snowball fight, of course! No one can ever hit the stealthy, teleporting snowball ninja.

[frost_jewel]

Are you sure? I think I might be able to.

[bamfing]

You can try, but not even Iceman could ever land a hit on me!

[frost_jewel]

You know a man made of ice?

[bamfing]

Nah, that's just his code name. He's a mutant, like me. His power is creating ice. I haven't seen anyone yet who can top him when it comes to freezing stuff.

[Too bad he's also an idiot.]

[frost_jewel]

Oh! He must be like a Mercury Adept, then.
