Jingle Bells

It'd been a long while since he'd been so happy, with two kindred souls whose company he found himself enjoying quite thoroughly. "There should be very few things that keep you from enjoying yourself," he commented with a chuckle, considering it as though someone had asked him to drum up a list of ideas. "Losing a limb might be one of them. Or getting stuck somewhere you actually can't get out of?" Kai shrugged, finding it hard to think of much that would really deal a blow to his mood besides the most extreme possibilities.

He grinned and let out a laugh at the banter between the two siblings. "I'll have to agree with her on this one, Jouko. Could you ever forgive yourself if she succumbed to such a fate?" His own voice was brimming with barely-contained laughter; though he'd only met Asgeira once before, she didn't strike him as the type to need assistance from anyone. No, he was fairly certain she could handle herself perfectly well in the face of danger, and he was happy to go along with her jesting.

Aggie went on to say that she considered being stuck in a blizzard an opportunity instead of a misfortune. Hm - that was one way to look at it. The harsh weather of the north certain did weed the weak out from the strong, he could agree with her there. And the mention of a game of sorts, with the losers hunting for the winner, well.. he was instantly sold. "Deal!" He chirped quickly, hurrying to all fours and hurrying off, plowing through the thick snow with relative ease. He'd seen a patch of ice on his way toward the center of the island, by a small patch of pine trees, which would work perfectly well for their little game.

This place really was a winter wonderland; all one could see in each and every direction as snow and ice, and even the sparse foliage was coated beautifully in white. Kai's spirits had been lifted since meeting his two companions, and how could he complain when he was in a terrain as perfect at this one? He'd hardly think about the impending blizzard - the snow was falling a bit more heavily now, though it was nothing they couldn't withstand. They'd figure out somewhere to hide out once things got really bad, but for now he was content to enjoy the snow and what remained of winter with his newest companions.
