Took all I knew to reach all these places (Farryl)

[Tashe]

Brrr. It was cold. He'd nearly forgotten how the winters in the North were. Unlike he, Castidenloth was comfortably sunning himself on their weyrledge laughing at his expense. I told you, you should have just waited a little longer to hide. You didn't have to hunker down in your hiding spot for such a long time. Yeah well... you are a spoil sport. So there. At least I'm not an old man. Hey, if I'm such an old man, lets see if I remember your midwinter's present. He could feel Castidenloth's laughter even if he couldn't hear it. He didn't mind waiting, one never really knew for certain when a wild Farryl would pass by after work. Even though this was a common exit that he'd spotted her leaving from quite a few times. He'd gathered enough snow from around his hiding spot to make a few snowballs with while not making suspicious indents in the white powder. Now he only had to wait behind his snowdrift in his white and light grey snow jacket (the one he'd acquired for exactly the purpose of hiding in the snow).

Upside, he had remembered to bring a insulated skin of Klah to keep him company as he "hunkered down". It wasn't scalding hot any more, which was good, it also meant he could gulp down a bigger mouthful than he could before. You know, without burning his mouth out of his head. With a warm feeling in the bottom of his belly, K'thay began making designs in the snow on the back of his snow drift. Random swirls turned into directional arrows and a miniature map of the surrounding Inverness area. If he wasn't Fort bred and trained no one was. With a sigh, the Bluerider snubbed out the map with the heel of his hand and cast a glance around the inside of the Weyrbowl. He still didn't feel confident about living inside of a Volcano, even if it was supposed to be dormant, and after two turns he still remained skittish over the fact.

In fact the volcano's dormancy wasn't the only thing he was having trouble getting used to... Peace. No War. No fighting or conniving or battles. His business was war, more specifically, assassination. And he was currently out of the job and it made him antsy. Threadfall did nothing for him and Casti, although it seemed the Blue enjoyed destroying it out of default. But he didn't get the specific pleasure that aerial battles did. Stretching one leg than the other K'thay yawned, though he froze when a group of people started to exit. Was Farryl among them?

Farryl did not think she would ever get used to the cold. They had winter in the South sure, but it never got so bone chillingly cold. She found herself huddling in more layers of clothing than she ever had before. Not to mention the snow! So much of it had fallen and built up and it was wet and sticky and got into her boots. Needless to say, winter in the North made Farryl a touch more cranky than normal. Peppeth loved it of course and Kurro and Faii liked to sneak through the snow when it wasn't too cold. Today though, Farryl was off to visit Lyleeka. She liked to make sure her mare was alright, even if it was too snowy to ride.

Wrapped in several layers, a thick coat, boots and scarf over her neck and head, Farryl ventured out into the Weyrbowl. Even with her clothing hiding most of her face and hair, anyone who knew her well would be able to recognize Hobbs perched on her shoulder and whistling merrily. Nothing could keep the cheerful blue down and he'd even embraced the season by letting Farryl tie a small, red scarf around his neck.

Shifting ever so slightly when he spotted Farryl, he waited for a few more moments before popping up and gracefully launching a snowball from behind his small drift of snow. He watched as it collided with her jacket padded hip. He picked up another and threw it so it fell just short of the Greenrider, the action making his hood fall back, exposing his head for recognition. Lifting a foot, he planted it firmly on the drift exposing himself for retaliation. "Halt fair maiden. This is a raid! I suggest you give up while you still have a chance!" He then immediately ducked behind cover once again, though he took a chance to peek up over the ridge before lobbing another snow ball in her general direction. Though he heard a disgruntled male voice and assumed that some poor by stander had gotten hit instead. He stood up and got a snowball to the face. Obviously the man had a reciprocal sense of justice and returned his frozen water in retaliation.

Wiping the snow out of his eyes, K'thay laughed in good spirits, though he had momentarily lost track of Farryl in his distraction. "Maiden you cannot get the best of me!" Tossing a snow ball up and down, he scanned the people for his lovely lady friend. He was hesitant to call her his girlfriend, since they had only just started dating, and there never really had been a word for it... so lady friend it was, in his mind anyway.

Castidenloth, now allowed to contact his Greenfriend, did so. Peppeth. Hello, hello. I would have greeted you earlier but Mine didn't want to chance ruining his "dastardly schemes". How are you today? Stretching out his wings, the Blue intended to take full advantage of the small amounts of sunlight drifting through the breaks in the clouds.
