Snow! Zelana spun about in the gently falling fluff as soon as she'd hopped off of Xyxyth. It was far more delicate and fanciful than anything she could have imagined from the stories she'd heard. It made the cold worthwhile as she skipped about through the odd snow puddles that just built up on top of the ground instead of just flowing away like proper rain. No, puddles wasn't really the right word, not when it was building up everywhere and not just the low spots. Blanket was a much better word, one that she'd heard before but that hadn't made sense at the time. She crunched through the blanket of snow as she bounced and tromped her way back to A'tay to throw her arms around him, her cheeks and nose pink from a combination of cold and delight. "This is wonderful! How often does this happen? All winter?"
She clung to his arm as they walked, eagerly looking around, taking in the sights, and watching her own breath form wisps of fog in the air. Zelly was even more mystified now about the concept of skating on ice. Sure this was cold, but she could't tell if she was shivering from that or from the excitement. She decided it must be excitement once she spotted the pond with people gliding about on its surface. She gasped and gave A'tay's arm a tug. "How do they not fall? What if I fall? Will I freeze to the pond?" Zelly grinned, excited by the prospect of it all. "You'll have to show me how this works, you're going with me right?"
