Fourth Snowfall: [video/action]

[towerlocked]

[Snow is sitting outside, carefully weaving straw together to form a doll. It's something she's done so many times to pass the long hours. When she's finished she says a quiet prayer]

God, watch over us as we face whatever comes. Give me strength to endure the dark days. Guide me to my purpose. There must be some reason why I am here.

[she closes her eyes, not really noticing if anyone is watching her]

[chuckles softly and tosses the ball. It's nice to relax and play for a change]

[southernreaper]

[Mimsy goes tearing off after the ball. OMGOMGOMG BALL!

Kevin just leans against a tree. A leaf brushes his cheek and withers, but he notices only to brush the ashes from his cheek.]

She'll be ya friend fer life, now.

[towerlocked]

I'm always pleased to make new friends.

[southernreaper]

Well, I dunno 'bout how happy ya'd be after she drools on ya shoes, bu' she's an alrigh' dog.

[He's teasing. Mostly. He wouldn't trade Mimsy for the world.]

[towerlocked]

My shoes have seen worse than a dog's drool.

[southernreaper]

[Mimsy brings back the ball and drops it at Snow's feet. HELLO BALL.]

That seems t'be a common theme among Newcomers.

[towerlocked]

Is that so? Then all places are full of dangers.

[southernreaper]

Well, that's true o' jus' 'bout anywhere. Jus' a matter of what ya used t'.

[He shoves hair back out of his face.]

[towerlocked]

Yes, that's very true.

[southernreaper]

[Kevin pushes himself up, leaving a handprint on the tree. Oops.]

It was right nice t'meet ya. I should get home, though. Time t'cook dinner an' all. C'mon Mimsy.

[She looks at the ball and then at Snow. Ball?]

[towerlocked]

[she holds out the ball to Kevin] I think perhaps you should take this.

[southernreaper]

[Kevin reaches out for the ball and stops, pulling his hand back. He pulls out a glove and stuffs his hand into it, before taking the ball.]

Thanks. If'n ya need anythin' don't hesitate t'ask.

C'mon Mimsy.

[DADDY! YOU HAZ BALL!]

[towerlocked]

[she notices this and frowns thoughtfully. Strange...]

Thank you. I hope to see you both again.

[southernreaper]

Probably will. We're around the parks a lot.

[He tucks the ball into his pocket and pulls out Mimsy's leash. She sits and lets him put it on. She's a good girl.]

See ya later, Miss Snow. C'mon Mimsy. Home.
