So, the moving-out discussion had been a bust. Well, no. It had been a 'think about it and make a grown up, responsible decision' discussion, which was somehow worse. She was still moderately grumpy at Erik for having played the 'remember your past' card, because she struggled so hard to forget her past. Her past sucked.

Her past also bore a strong chance of repeating itself, if she wasn't careful. That, really, was what pissed her off about the whole course of the discussion. She couldn't argue when he was right. If the wrong people caught wind of it, if she wound herself into a position they could take her again ... there was every chance she'd wind up in a lab. There was also every chance she wouldn't make it out again.

She'd thought about that on the train ride down to the city. She was safe at the mansion. She was sheltered at the mansion. There were people like her there. People who understood the particulars of their unique situation. But the city was huge, and why shouldn't she be able to hide in it?

It wouldn't hurt, she decided, to see what was for rent -- and what kind of jobs there were around. On a lark, she had some fliers made up and decided to plaster them around town. They were simple, plain things that just announced her finding service. She hadn't put her number on it, but she thought if she stood near where she could see most of them, she might find some interested parties.

Then again, she had a feeling the snow was keeping most people in. After managing to nail a few fliers to a few posts, she rolled up the remainder and shoved them into her jacket pocket before she looked around. All the snow, and no one to fight with. With a shrug, Jaime swapped her gloves for mittens and set about creating a snowman. Maybe some adventurous kids would show up to help, or someone else would be along to chat. Either way.

"Nah. The only way to keep from being a doormat is to stand up to people who try to push you where you don't want to go. There's a time and place for bending, but ... not all places and not all times."

Jaime grinned to him. "That was my grand plan for the day," she admitted. "Staying out here until I got cold, and then going to warm up with some hot chocolate before heading back out here. You're welcome to stick around," she oh so generously offered. "I'll even spring for a cup of coffee or chocolate or whatever for you," she teased him playfully before she started to pull her mitten back on. If she was going back to sticking her hands in the snow, she was going to make sure they could at least be covered if not completely warm.

"I'm game," Zack agreed. "Show me your northern ways for I am hopeless in the snow."

He really was. That was half the reason he'd done such a horrible job of infiltrating the base in Modeoheim when he'd been sent after Genesis. That base held some of his worst memories, and it would be nice to build more pleasant associations with snow and winter weather in general.

"Excellent," Jaime said. With that decided, she turned away to the half-formed snowman, whereupon she proceeded to introduce Zack to the wonders of cold and snow and ice and of course, snow balls. No winter activity was complete without at least a few thrown snowballs.

She appreciated having company, and she figured they might even attract a few others to join in the festivities.
