Bella had been hard at work before Ruby had arrived, having been out there for about twenty or so minutes already. Her cheeks were pink and she was already sniffling, but she was having the time of her life, rolling snow into a large ball for the base of her snowman. The bottom of the three balls that would go into making her snowman was already at her knee's height, though it was horrible misshapen and in dire need of a few extra rolls across the yard until it rounded out. She was pushing the ball across the yard when she heard Ruby, smiling as she looked over her shoulder at the demon.
Truth be told, Ruby had frightened her at first. Vampires and werewolves she could handle, but demons were an entirely different ball game and she hadn't been equipped so well for it. It didn't matter though because after a few weeks at the complex (and some time in the future), she had come to trust Ruby not to kill, maim, or torture her, like demons were prone to do. It helped that Ruby acted like any other human, which put Bella at considerable ease being around her now.
"Hey," she said, returning the greeting with a small wave. Her glove dripped with slush, which she flung away as she shook her hand to get rid of it. "Well, you could start rolling another ball of snow. We still need his middle and head!" She explained cheerfully, having kept her word to not build the entire snowman without Ruby. "I brought a hat for him," she added, gesturing to a nearby bench that had a hat with a red pom pom on top of it and some rocks that Bella had dug out of the snow for its smile and eyes.
"What do you think we should name him?" Bella had started to roll the base around again, in hopes that it would start resembling a ball soon.
