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]

[it's not her place to argue theology. She has her faith and she will hold onto it, but she won't try to convince this girl to do the same]

Yes. It's something I do to keep my hands busy.

You like dolls?

[Eponine sighs a little wistfully, and then smiles. It's nice to see innocence in people beyond their childhood years.]

Video

[towerlocked]

Yes, I do.

[She smiles a warm, genuine smile]

Me too. Haven't had one since our inn when I was a child though.

You can have one of these if you want. [holds up the doll]

Oh Madame, I could not. Perhaps in a few weeks.

[When she has some spare money or something to give Snow in return]

[Snow is confused] What happens in a few weeks?

Re: Video

I will perhaps have some money spare. But for now, there is rent to pay and food to buy.

I was offering it as a gift, but if you do not wish to accept, I won't force it on you.

Re: Video

[makeflowersgrow]

Really?

[She's surprised; still unused to people wanting to give her stuff for nothing. But she's delighted, too]

Even after I was not very nice to you?

[she smiles a little] Everyone has their own way here. I can't fault you for yours.

Re: Video

[makeflowersgrow]

Then you are unusual. Thank you, Madame Snow. May I come round now?

[Which is Eponine's awkward way of offering friendship.]

[towerlocked]

I would like that.
