Snow. Snow. Snow.

[http://users.livejournal.com/_fredless/]

[....and outside's a girl that spend the whole of her childhood in Texas. And then the rest of hr life in L.A. with a bit of a detour in demon dimension between. So needless to say? She's more than a little excited at the idea of snow.

Her hair is tucked up in a pony tail, and she's bundled up in a lightweight coat and a scarf, with gloves that match. Gloves being the most important part because what else is a girl to do that's hardly seen snow but play in it?

Only it's not snowmen or snow angels that are holding her attention. Rather a complicated igloo like structure that appears to have multiple rooms.

She's done the math...

[Mary was fond of the snow, something about it made it all seem like a new start really was possible. Plus it always made things easier to track when they left actual tracks. Things felt different though, and she was missing John, so the cold air flooding her lungs with tiny ice particles felt good, it felt numbing at the very least, and hey! There's an igloo being made she should probably go check that out]

Looks pretty complicated. [have a smile]

[and it's Fred peeking up from behind her creation, snow in her hair]

...I guess? I hadn't really thought of it that way.

[stillmade-adeal.livejournal.com]

[that's sort of adorable and Mary grins moving around the structure]

Well I figured, since you're the one building it. Trust me though, it's mighty impressive looking to say the least.

[http://users.livejournal.com/_fredless/]

[she extends a snow-covered hand for shaking that really not THAT cold]

I'm Fred.

[stillmade-adeal.livejournal.com]

[no worries on the cold, Mary has on a pair of leather winter gloves since her Dad always taught her to dress for the weather ~ so she shakes the hand with a smile]

Mary, and it's good to meet you Fred.

[http://users.livejournal.com/_fredless/]

[she smiles then, that big Fred smile]

It's nice to meet you to. I was just thinking this morning how I needed to meet....well, of course then I went out to build this on my own. That was smart.

[stillmade-adeal.livejournal.com]

[laughs a bit]

I know the feeling, I always think I'll get out and meet some of the people I talk to in these books, but I tend to end up with my friend Jo, but that's because we have a lot in common.

[http://users.livejournal.com/_fredless/]

[she nods, briefly looking p at the fresh snow starting to fall]

It's a lot to take in, this place.

[stillmade-adeal.livejournal.com]

[she laughs shaking her head]

Yeah you're tellin' me. I swear I'm not sure if it's better I'm here or if I should feel bad for not bein' back home.

[A low, impressed whistle comes from directly behind her.]

[http://users.livejournal.com/_fredless/]

[she spins to the sound, nearly dropping a brink at she does so]

[mmm-paradise.livejournal.com]

Careful. Don't want to screw up, do you?

[http://users.livejournal.com/_fredless/]

Lucky for me snow's pretty forgiving.

[mmm-paradise.livejournal.com]

I wonder if it's worth the hassle, though. It'll all tumble by spring, you know.

[http://users.livejournal.com/_fredless/]

Things don't have to last to be good.

[mmm-paradise.livejournal.com]

But the best things usually do. [a light laugh] You might make the castle jealous.

[http://users.livejournal.com/_fredless/]

[her features knit up a bit at that]

What would it be jealous for?

[mmm-paradise.livejournal.com]

It seems to get a kick out of being the most powerful thing here. [He looks up at the work she's done.] Tower of Babel and all that, you know?

[Have a Lorne, enjoying snow for the first time ever. Because, hey, there's no snow in a place with two suns and everywhere else he's lived has been L.A or Las Vegas.]

Is this one of those things that has complicated maths involed that make me have that blank expression when you try to explain them to me, Freddles?

[http://users.livejournal.com/_fredless/]

[here's a Fred, peeking her head out from inside her creation, face lighting up at the sight of her friend]

It's ok. We can just skip the explaining, if you like. I know it's cold out.

[mysticalvender.livejournal.com]

[He chuckles softly, tilting his head at the thing]

Thanks, Sunshine, I appreciate it. You probably would have had to wheel me in when I got frozen solid or something. So, enjoying yourself?

[http://users.livejournal.com/_fredless/]

[her answer to the question of enjoying might be to toss a snowball in his general direction -- guess she didn't take his fear of freezing to heart]

[mysticalvender.livejournal.com]

[He laughs as it beans him on the shoulder]

Heeeey no fair, picking on the pacifist.

[broken-clock.livejournal.com]

[is wandering around outside, careful not to let cane or feet slip in the snow; the cold doesn't bother him, and the sight - strange, now, different, after so long with nothing but spring - is rather comforting

he slows to a stop when he spots her igloo, and the shadow of a smile graces his features, because he recognises the equations within immediately, and appreciates the complexity]

[http://users.livejournal.com/_fredless/]

[she's being quiet at the moment, just watching and listening as the stranger approaches. Pylea taught her all about being that way. Her smile is small, but visible]

...hi.

[broken-clock.livejournal.com]

[his own widens, a bit] Hello. [and he nods to the wee igloo] Impressive piece of work.

[http://users.livejournal.com/_fredless/]

[she laughs lightly, her smile more of a grin]

...but this isn't. Trust me when I tell you this isn't work.
