[ he is! but he was waiting for her, and he'll fling a snowball at the first sign of pink ]

[florescences]

[ she gets a face full of snow, and she playfully falls backwards

and plays dead. ]

[noirges]

[ oh he's a fool

he's immediately going to check on her ]

Ellie—?!

[florescences]

[ don't be such a fool, yves

she's going to toss a snowball the moment he gets close. ]

[noirges]

[ okay well he fucking eats it

and slips on ice

so now he's the one who goes down for real ]

[florescences]

[ noooo ]

Yves?

[ she gets up and clambers over to him. ]

Are you okay?

[noirges]

[ it's fine he's just laughing ]

It's slippery out here, Ellie...!!

[florescences]

[ she holds out a hand to him. ]

Just a little bit. Did we tie?

[noirges]

I'm not so prideful I can't admit your victory...

[ he'll take it and move to stand ]

[florescences]

I had an advantage.... [ knowing snow. ] But I'll take the win, if you say so.

Shall we get something warm to drink?

[noirges]

Sure, that sounds great!

[ he'll hold his hand out to her for handholds

it's bare and terribly cold ]

[florescences]

[ she was wearing gloves, but she takes off one to hold his bare and cold hand.

get warm, dummy. ]

Hot chocolate or cider?

[noirges]

[ just holds onto her hand? ]

Either sounds good! Whatever you'd prefer.

[florescences]

[ she starts tugging him towards a stall. ]

Cider, then. If you aren't used to snow, is your island usually temperate in weather? Or rainy?

[noirges]

It rains sometimes, but I'd say it's normally pretty temperate. So everything about this place is really new to me....

We didn't have much in the way of celebrations either.

[florescences]

[ no celebrations sounds so sad.... ]

I'm glad you've gotten to experience so many new things. Is that because of your country was loved and cursed by Death?

[noirges]

[ nods ]

I think people were focusing on the everyday, just trying to get by with what they had... and we didn't have many traditions to begin with.

But it's alright. Getting to learn new things that I would've enjoyed in life actually sounds like Heaven.

[florescences]

Sometimes, it really is all you can do to struggle and survive. [ she gets it. ]

How fortunate to do what sounds like Heaven in Heaven. We'll have to hope the next train stop continues to be novel.

[ until you inevitably die somehow. ]
