Simon was no expert on the matter, but he was pretty sure that snow in August was against the norm. Everything he'd seen on the television seemed to indicate the same. He wasn't exactly prepared for this weather, but he'd managed to find a coat in the lost and found, and he'd watched through a window as ill-prepared city workers did their best to clear the snow off the streets and sidewalks.

He didn't understand it, but he'd seen a note on the board about ... magic users. It still boggled his mind, and he'd rather believe it was a weather anomaly than think someone had the power to cast a blizzard in their cage. As far as he knew, at any rate, it encompassed the entirety of their cage. He was more concerned with the immediate area, however, and how he was going to handle being outside in these temperatures.

Either way, he did intend to get outside and see what help he could offer to people who'd gotten into accidents, or slipped and fallen on the ice. So it was that he made his way out of the welcome center in the afternoon. He had no real plan just then save to wander around (or head to the hospital and offer his assistance there), but something happened that derailed his plans entirely.

He saw River.

Well, no. River had never moved quite like that, but maybe it was the snow? From this distance though ... she looked just like her. "River!" he called out as he shoved his hands deeper into his pocket, his medkit banging against his side as he moved carefully in her direction. "River!" He called again, in case she hadn't heard the first time.
