Just having snow doesn't mean the lake will freeze over. It's got to be much colder for that.

[kobes]

Are you sure?

[holyposition]

It has to be colder, for longer, to build up inches of ice.

[kobes]

Oh. Huh.

That's very interesting. How do you know? Did you ice fish back home? I did, in the village, but

[Well. He was a seal.]

[holyposition]

I've gone once. When I was a kid. I complained the whole time.

[kobes]

I don't blame you. I haven't met anyone who ENJOYS ice and snow.

[holyposition]

I actually love the snow. I just don't like sitting around waiting.

[kobes]

Really? But it's COLD.

[holyposition]

Have you ever made a snowman?

[kobes]

Somehow I never did. I was usually trying to stay warm or hunting or something, in the village.

I saw them around, sometimes.

[holyposition]

Sledding? Snowball fights? Snow can be a lot of fun! Coming back inside for hot chocolate is even better.

[kobes]

We used sleds to carry things? But overall I think my impression of winter was pretty badly tainted by everything going on.

Maybe this time will be a do-over?

[holyposition]

If you get in a sled and push it down a snowy hill, it'll go fast. It's fun. We'll redeem it for you.

[kobes]

Really? That sounds
Actually really fun.

[holyposition]

I'll pray for snow so you can ride in front.

[kobes]

Is the front better? Is it more dangerous? Do I have specific responsibilities?

[holyposition]

It's more fun because you can see everything rush at you.

[kobes]

That sounds
Terrifying? Exhilarating? Both?

But you'll sit behind me, right?

[holyposition]

Both!

Yeah, they can usually fit two.

☃️🛷🎄

[kobes]

You won't let me get hurt?

[holyposition]

It won't hurt, if you fall off you just land in the snow.

[kobes]

What if we run into a tree? Or get attacked by a moose?

[holyposition]

They don't have moose here. As for the trees, steer around them.

[kobes]

I have to STEER???

[holyposition]

Just a little.

It's a kid's game Koby. You'll be fine.
