((ooc; Derp. I was looking at the wrong calendar. It wasn't snowing on the 28th, but who isn't to say there weren't a few flakes falling on and off? However, there's plenty of snow left from the 24th and 25th.))

It's all in the past now. Let's not worry about that any further.

[She nods, also glancing at the window. So much snow. Some part of her still feels a sense of melancholy over the sight of snow, but she can't deny how beautiful a snow-covered village looks, all peaceful and calm. It'd been a beautiful Christmas.]

A nice fresh layer. It's been on and off, but it's... nice to see. A pity the Christmas lights aren't still up.

((ooc; it's all good!))

I-I know it is. I just...wanted to make sure. [ A pout. He follows Ginia's stare though and manages a small smile. ]

They would have been lovely to see against the freshly fallen snow. Don't you hate it when Christmas ends so suddenly? Never was a fan, always thought Christmas should be a year round holiday, really. [ There's a half hearted smirk and it's short lived at best as Helios finally removed himself from his room but not before getting his coat and gloves. ]

Shall we then?

Here and gone in a flash. On the bright side, we didn't have to deal with taking down the Christmas lights. [Or mistletoe, though they did their job hacking it down whenever a new sprig popped up.] I bet there's a place where Christmas does exist year round. Must be a very festive sort of place.

Yes, let's. [The two walk down the stairs, Ginia grabbing her own coat and gloves off the coat rack. She whistles for Odin, the dog galloping over from the kitchen and giving a happy bark, then galloping off into the snow the moment the door opens.]

Spry thing. Despite his age, he's a giant, lovable puppy.

That's always the depressing part. Cleaning up all the decorations. [ He has a child-like glee about him at that idea. ] Oh you think so? That sounds rather marvelous! I wouldn't mind visiting a world like that in the slightest.

[ He follows waiting for Odin to show and when Ginia says that he laughs. Watching the dog enjoy his time in the snow white snow. Each gallop and bound making deep groves in the otherwise pristine smooth surface in the sea of sparkling white. ] He certainly is. It reminds me of this one dog we used to pass by on our way home from school. [ He pauses looking thoughtful. ]

Baxter I think was his name. He was quite loveable...always knew when something was wrong. [ Always knew when it came to Helios at least. ]

It is. Taking them down, putting them away... [She chuckles as she remembers something.] I used to live in this apartment complex and someone had lights decorating their balcony year-round. Different colored lights for the different holidays. Even had little pineapple tree lights for the summer. Sorry, that just came to me. But a Christmas world or land... that would be fun.

[Ginia watches her dog bound off, leaving ruts as he races across the lawn, but oh, let the boy have his fun.]

Dogs are smart like that. Dependable and loyal.

I usually had Ra take down the lights and the phantoms helped with the higher hanging decorations. It's a bit easier using magic though. [ Helios laughs. ] Pineapples, really?

They most certainly are. I love cats and dogs equally so. [ He shrugs. ] Odin is quite the lively one. I-I used to take in strays rather a lot. I-I know I shouldn't have but it gets so cold in Hunedoara.

It seems many things are easier with magic. [A light laugh.] Yes, pineapples. Quirky, but a nice sort of thing.

Odin is very lively. It's a good thing we have a bigger house now, I was afraid he'd tear up the apartment. Davenport can get pretty cold too, but I lived in a small apartment with my family. Despite my numerous attempts at sneaking strays in, we simply didn't have the space or time for them.

Only a few things, really. Most of them being physically attributed. [ Socially it makes things harder in his world at least. And then there's the mistakes that are made when it comes to using it... ]

Davenport...Davenport. It looked like a lovely place when I saw it with-with Alice. [ Despite the things she told him about. ] But well it's the thought that counts you know? Can you imagine us taking in all the strays at Luceti? [ Helios laughs. ] It's a good thing none of us are allergic to cats or dogs!

Davenport is lovely in certain ways. [She sighs, fondly and sadly. Even if this strange little world has become more of a home due to all the wonderful people around, there's still a spot in her heart for Davenport. One can't forget the place they grew up in so easily. The city set the foundation for her life, gave her form and shape.] There were many charming things about it.

We could run our own adoption agency. [She laughs as well, imagining the unused bedrooms as sleeping and playrooms for all the cats and dogs and who knows what else they could take in.] I don't think Giles would be very pleased if we did that.

I think every place has a certain inherent beauty to it. M-More thoroughly seen when, when you've spent awhile there. Sometimes you have give the place you grew up credit. It is the place where we got our foundation. [ There's a...very sad smile on Helios' face as he speaks those words. Almost as if he doesn't believe them himself. Romania the castle...they shaped him but he wasn't surrounded by the caring and nurturing people throughout most of his childhood. Still he turned out alright. ]

You think he wouldn't? I don't know having something like that might actually be fun and helpful. Doggy and cat sit for people while they're away. [ There's an ever apparent smirk on his lips as he says that jokingly. ]

The places we come from have a way of shaping us. The people we grow up around too. [She may have a loving circle of friends, family even, in Luceti, but they will never replace the one she was born with.]

No, I think you're right. He likes animals too. I imagine him sighing, removing his glasses to give them a good clean, and shaking his head before relenting. But petsitting! That would be fun. I'm sure it'd take some stress of people's minds. [She smirks as well, also joking along, but don't many of their jokes and teasing become reality in one way or another? ~~like those aprons~~]

The people we grow up around...yes. [ He doesn't sound particular happy while saying that. Actually he doesn't at all and his head is downcast as he continues to walk. Barring a few friends here or there Luceti is the closest he's ever gotten to having true friends and perhaps even a family.

Still Helios can't help but chuckle at the image. ]

He probably would, wouldn't he? I know! It wouldn't even require too much on our part. I-I mean what with having three of us here to switch off and all. We could take shifts if we ever got anyone who required it. Besides I'm sure Odin wouldn't mind having some more canine companions, isn't that right? [ He'll look for the said dog in question with a wry smirk. ]

[Ginia glances over at him, quest questions popping up again. It's not the first time she's heard him sound like that and it makes her worry. However, it's not something she knows how to broach either.]

I'm sure some of our friends wouldn't mind helping out either. And no, Odin, probably wouldn't mind some canine companions. All the cats have him running for cover.

[She laughs lightly as some feet away, Odin barks at them, then flops down to roll around in the snow, becoming suitably covered in white.]

[ He'll push it aside like it's nothing; he's used to never discussing it but maybe...maybe he should and maybe he will eventually. He never mentions Nero and he's not sure if his paranoia is justified. But gods the fact that Nero could be sent here gets an involuntary shiver out of him. ]

I-I think Grune would be wonderful for helping out with it to be honest. [ Daw Odin you are just the biggest puppy ever. ]

I agree, and I know she'd agree if we asked her too. Who else should we ask? [Yes, he is. Such a good, giant, one-eyed puppy. Odin hops to his feet and shakes, snow flying off him before he trots off to explore a bit more.]

Who else, who else. Perhaps...Robert, maybe? [ Hmm. Who seems like a cat person. ]

I'm not entirely sure on people's preferences towards cats and dogs. There's a very big gap between the two for some reason. I like them both equally to be honest. They both have their quirks and personalities after all.

I think Robert would be a good choice. How about Link?

I've always liked cats and dogs equally as well. I suppose it depends on the quirks and personalities you like. Then you have those that like birds, reptiles, rodents, and/or fish. A pet-type for everyone.

Link would be wonderful to have as well! And perhaps we can ask over the journals for anyone else interested. [ This will be the best plan ever. ]

How do you think Giles would take to a pet dragon? [ He is so teasing with that question but not really. A pet dragon would be cool. Dragons are cool. ]

I think we should. We'd have to do a bit of screening, make sure no one would hurt any animals, but I think it's a great it.

I think Giles would take wonderfully to a pet dragon. Not an issue at all. [Mostly because Giles wouldn't get a say. Dragons are very awesome. Who wouldn't want a pet dragon?]

I believe the main issue would be finding somewhere to stick a dragon. Granted there's the spacial distortion spell and, and bigger rooms. Also the shed a-and we could always build something for it...

[ He is seriously contemplating this. He is seriously contemplating it! ]

I'm sure we could build some sort of shelter. I guess it depends on how big the dragon is, but I'm sure we'd find a way to provide proper accommodations.

[They don't even have a dragon and Ginia is already contemplating this.]

A dragon. You know I've never thought of having one before. I guess it's because I've been around them with the Academy and all. [ And some dragons, ahem Ra, can be quite insufferable sometimes. ] But it would amazing, wouldn't it?

[ He looks at the snow and then back at Ginia. He blinks and then remembers something. He'll snap his fingers. ] Ah! But in the meantime! Would you mind closing your eyes for a few minutes?

I think I might have had a fantasy or two about having a pet dragon as a child. The things we'd do and all the places we'd go together. [She laughs quietly. What a girl she'd been, head in the clouds, feet dancing across the floor. Still that girl in some ways.] It would be, very much.

[She looks curiously at him, arches a brow at him, but complies, closing her eyes and covering them with her hands.]

But why just have it as a fantasy, hm? Especially here when the sky is the limit. [ Don't might the shuffling or the sounds of snow crunching here or there. ]

Just one more second...and- [ Mm hmm some humming before a whispered 'ah ha' and Ginia might see a glowing light from beyond her hands. ]

There we are! You can look now. [ And what Ginia will see is a snow dragon staring curiously back at her head tilting to the side. It's almost identical to the one Helios made back in December only slightly smaller due to time constraints. It's tail swishes back and forth making snow fall from it in small little 'plops' as it hits the ground. ]

What do you think? Do you think Giles would allow him to stay? [ He laughs. ]

This place is full of all sorts of wonderful things. [Her curiosity is beginning to get the better of her, but she keeps her eyes closed and covered.

When he's allowed to look, her hands quickly drop down. For a few seconds she stares, jaw slack, eyes wide. Then there's practically a girlish squeal as her hands cover her mouth.]

Even if Giles didn't, and god knows why he wouldn't, I would insist on it! He's beautiful, Helios.
