She listened quietly to what he said. And in a way, it was true. He was right. When people got older, they stopped remembering how to have fun. They stopped playing. They grew up. She was guilty of that, too. Though she blamed her lack of a childhood for that one. Left alone for so long, her siblings never around...she had to learn how to do things for herself, not ever thinking about having fun or playing. Her demeanor turned a little solemn when she thought about it. And it saddened her to a degree, all the time she lost waiting for something to happen. Waiting for her stupid family to come back. She had decided to venture out on her own far too late, already feeling like she was at the midway point of her life. She felt robbed, but she also knew she couldn't entirely blame her family. She had been naive, hoping and waiting for them. Though she was still naive even now, she was at least a little wiser.

She was pulled from her thoughts when Striden asked her what brought her here, a question that would likely be repeated by everyone she met, if any, along the way. "I uh...decided to get out of my southern comfort zone to come and explore the North. I've never seen snow before, something I'm sure you noticed with my lack of experience on the ice." She shrugged, a sheepish look on her face as she peered at him. Would he think her sheltered? Dumb? She didn't know. She tried hard to not appear so vulnerable or anything in front of anyone. But then again, there wasn't anyone around to try not to show those things to.
