[ Helios stops in his tracks when those fish and kami pop up around him. He smiles, amused, and laughs happily as they swim and dance around him. He loved doing this sort of thing on the first snowfall of the season. It was, in a way, something to give back to the community as a whole. It helped keep spirits up and it helped lightened people's moods, including his own. So when he hears Saori's voice his smile only gets wider as he turns around to greet her. She looks somewhat happier than he's seen her in the last few weeks and that's always a good sign for anyone around here. The snow falling makes it a bit hard to see through, but he waves her over with an enthusiastic flourish of his arms. ] Saori! Hello!

[ A laugh as he rubs the back of his head sheepishly. ] It-it's a bit obvious, isn't it? I do concede that I like this season...quite a bit. [ As if it weren't obvious enough, derp. ]

H-How are you today Saori? [ He knows how she doesn't fancy the cold or snow, so it's a bit surprising seeing her out here. It's probably taken a lot for her to travel out with the weather like this. ]
