Rating: Low (G/PG/PG-13)
Friday after classes had let out Alexei had made his way down to the lake, skin protected from the lingering light, which was quickly fading away. Winter was truly his favorite time with the snow, the cold weather, and the quickly fading light. After some organizing and discussion Alexei and a few others began to work, transforming the section of lake they would use into an ice rink. Making it thick and frozen enough to easily support the weight of bodies. Then erecting snow and ice barriers to keep the students from wandering over to part of the lake where the ice would be weaker and where there would be danger of falling in. Once done it was then left for the children to enjoy themselves in a tried and true method spanning generations.
Really, Alexei loved doing this. So many years of his long life had been spent in fear and sadness. Stripped of basic rights so man took for granted. So in doing this he was able to use these cursed gifts to bring happiness and joy to others. It had been little Vanya that had shown him this way, for which he would always be grateful.
[Note: Alexei will be around each day, kind of seeing it as his duty to keep an eye on the kids. Feel free to respond working with him to set it up, or just skating around and interacting with him. Or horseplaying and getting a lecture for it, that would work too. lol]
