['Tis the season.

The season for arrivals.

Such as snow, for example. Well, it's technically not the season, given it's summer, but at the same time it's the holiday season, and so it's definitely the season for it. It doesn't matter if you try to argue against this perfect logic, because in any case the snow will arrive - a subtle frost first, then a solid white blanket covering it all. From the mountains in the Crimson Woods to the prairies near Sunset Village, but particularly around the south, at Tourmaline City and the port areas; roofs, pathways, parks, ponds and gardens will turn into a winter fantasyland, ideal for snow angels, sliding on sleighs, skating.... or simply staying home, cursing the weather from within a blanket coccoon. In fact, if you were lacking winter clothes in your closet, it's a great time to go stock up in stores, which will temporarily carry coats and scarves. Or you could just grab hot chocolate that will be sold around every corner. Or maybe join in on the holiday cheer and hang fairy lights or garlands, set up a colorful tree in your home, even buy some last-minute gifts.

But that's not all that will be arriving, although this other visit might not be as obvious. It will start sneakily creeping up some tree branches, hanging from unaware lintels, even showing up floating above the heads of careless victims, until it achieves its goal. This tenacious invader of green leaves and red fruits won't disappear until those underneath it do the traditional kiss, so you better watch your surroundings. It's mistletoe season too, afterall, and these are as magical as they are capricious.

Will that be all that arrives? Maybe. Christmas and New Year are coming up, so these days will have many different things approaching at high speed.

Perhaps somewhere out there, there's a boat, approaching slowly but surely across the sea, and some music that can be heard stronger and stronger at a distance... What is it?

Well, you'll know when it arrives. But most likely it's nothing short of all your dreams come true.]

[[Snow & Mistletoe log! Backdated to around xmas time. Feel free to be creative with mistletoe - maybe it's asking for a long hug, or hand-holding, or a slap to the face!

EN ESPAÑOL. Post de nieve y muérdagos! Backdatteado a alrededor de la navidad. Pueden ser creativos con los muérdagos, quizá les pidan un abrazo largo, o que se tomen la mano, ¡o un cachetazo!]

[It's an easy quest this time, especially since he's been on his own for some days now. Check the areas that are now covered most heavily with the snow, in case anyone got trapped in it unaware and is now freezing, or stuck, or needs any sort of help. Maybe they just want a hand with removing snow from the front of a building.]

[In any case, it means he's wandering around, and won't be too hard to spot again when she arrives by the same areas.]

[She'll see him before he sees her and in the process gets a few extra moments just to stare from her place at the foot of the bridge.]

He's still...

[It'd be embarrassing when we meet again. She'd borrowed his words and here they are again doing exactly that once more. It's a strange, warm feeling even though her body is cold all over. She's already trying to trudge in his direction, never mind that she doesn't make much headway in the snow.]

Himmel.

	[He can be embarrassing for the two of them, as once he hears her he stops doing what he was up to (showing off to some children who were curious about the giant sword) and turns to meet her with a big smile.] You're back. [... And freezing, most likely, so he'll walk over much more easily than she could, to help her out.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[She honestly might've been content just to watch him with the kids for a little longer despite not saying as much, and there's the urge immediately when he smiles to reach out and feel if he's tangible the way she did last time. That he speaks of her return is convincing enough- She nods in answer, waits for him to bridge the gap the rest of the way.]

So I am. ... Has it been some time? [It's hard to tell, particularly when something about this weather feels off, though she can't quite place why yet.]

	[He'll unknowingly help with that urge by reaching out to take her hand and help her walk in the snow, shaking his head at the question.] Oh, not that much. The snow came out of nowhere. [Little magic things, right? He won't pretend to be an expert there.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[It's a small thing she may or may not know that she does, easily letting him take her hand, fingers curling to - hold on? Keep warm? Anything more goes unspoken if anything. She follows his lead, and tilts her head in consideration of their surroundings.]

Out of... Ah. It's all a spell at work. [Oh, duh. She's a mix of curious and impressed she didn't pick up on it - the differences in magics across worlds will take some getting used to again.]

Is it like this everywhere?

	[He's of course delighted to be able to hold her hand like this again, to help her even in such a small way.] It looks like it reaches pretty far. [From what he's been able to see.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[And in turn the comfort and warmth from him works wonders on keeping her mood from drifting in the cold too much, however much oblivious she may stay of his own feelings about the small gesture. Still, that answer makes her wrinkle her nose.] Then traveling further away won't change much. [... Sigh.] A waiting game it is. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[He doesn't miss that the snow would make her gloomy, so he still tries to cheer her up somewhat.] We could go inside where it won't be as cold. [Some café or something of the sort nearby.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[She'll never not say yes to that suggestion tbh, and hey perhaps indoors is also just better for - well. Many thoughts that she's got to sort through, given today.] Okay. [Her gaze still lingers on him, a short pause at first, but by the time she answers she's simply nodding.] Let's find somewhere. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[He's missed those looks, even if he doesn't quite get their meaning.] [It doesn't take too long to find some place nearby, as this area is meant for many people passing by and needing a place to rest at. Maybe they can get hot chocolate.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[The shivery trip there will be worth it then, but in the meantime she's scrunching up her nose and walking close to him until they make it inside... And almost instantly it's so much better. The dumb relieved noise she sighs out is very funny.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[He's indeed amused, though of course it's in that soppy lovesick way of his.] I'll get us something to drink. [She can sit down in the meantime and make more noises, maybe.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
