Illyana ran outside, the largest grin possible on her face. The resort had changed again days ago, and changed into something she actually approved, and yet she hadn't been outside to enjoy it yet. Today, she was determined to spend as much time as possible out in the snow. She'd dressed comfortably for the weather, for her - corduroy slacks, fur-lined boots, a turtleneck, coat, mittens, and a hat. She'd seen other people from her window dressed in ski suits and parkas and all kinds of things. Clearly, they weren't used to winter.

Once outside, she spent a good ten minutes running around through the snow, enjoying the feel of moving through it again. She ended up near the woods where she'd first arrived, and an idea came to her. She hadn't done it since she was about five, and she felt the overwhelming desire to do so again. She started rolling a giant ball of snow. It was slow going at first, but as it got larger, it actually became easier to do. When it was as tall as her waist, she stopped, regarding its placement near the woods critically. That would do. She then turned and started forming another ball. The snowman army would be reborn, even if she didn't have her big brother Piotr to help her build it.
